There are several reasons for this problem:

-       Te Linux kernel programmers did split the SCSI
        device namespace with Linux-2.6 maing a real
        -scanbus impossible.

        Try also dev=ATAPI and dev=ATA

-       With Linux-2.6 cdrecord needs root privileges
        in order to work correctly. Install suid-root
        and make sure to use an original cdrecord

        ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/cdrecord/alpha/

-       The "cdrecord" derivat on Debian does never
        work 100% correctly on Linux-2.6, see above
        for a solution.
