What is the output of wodim -scanbus ?

What device does your CD-ROM/DVD normally use?

Is your optical drive accessed through the normal ATAPI driver or 
through ide-scsi (SCSI emulation for IDE devices)?

Is SCSI compiled into your kernel--at least as a module? If so, is that 
module loaded? I think that the 'sg' (SCSI general?) module is used by 
wodim.

--------------------
I'm running Sarge with kernel 2.6.22 and wodim (self compiled) 1.1.6. 
Even though 2.6 kernels support writing to ATAPI optical drives, I'm 
still using ide-scsi to drive my CD writer.
