I had a problem using "dev=ATAPI:x,x,x" when I first switched to the
2.6.x kernel and dropping ide-scsi. I finally settled on
dev=/dev/hdc. So I just tried the above to see if something had
changed, since I am now running kernel 2.6.7.
cdrecord --scanbus dev=ATAPI returns
scsidev: 'ATAPI'
devname: 'ATAPI'
scsibus: -2 target: -2 lun: -2
Warning: Using ATA Packet interface.
Warning: The related Linux kernel interface code seems to be unmaintained.
Warning: There is absolutely NO DMA, operations thus are slow.
Using libscg version 'schily-0.8'.
scsibus0:
0,0,0 0) 'PLEXTOR ' 'CD-R PX-W1210A' '1.08' Removable CD-ROM
cdrecord: Warning: controller returns wrong size for CD capabilities page.
0,1,0 1) 'CD-ROM ' 'Drive/F5E ' '0.27' Removable CD-ROM

While cdrecord --scanbus dev=/dev/hdc returns
Warning: Open by 'devname' is unintentional and not supported.
Linux sg driver version: 3.5.27
Using libscg version 'schily-0.8'.
scsibus1:

I then tried to format a cd with
cdrecord speed=10 dev=ATAPI:0,0,0 blank=full and it failed and said try
blank= all. I did, and it also failed. So I then tried
cdrecord speed=10 dev=/dev/hdc blank=all and blank=full and blank=fast
and they all worked.
I offer this up as an alternative that 'works for me', not as cure-all.
I haven't the faintest idea why it works, it just does.
