You might want to look at your log files, and dmesg, it seems like you might have fstab or a /dev setup a little wrong. You also might want to check out if ide-scsi is active with cdrecord -scanbus as root. Also did you check out the CD-Writing howto, it might be you have a missing module, or something. Check the howto and do a lsmod to make sure the modules are loaded. Make sure you pass the proper ide-scsi line to your kernel in lilo, or grub. Also a lot of stereos are not able to read cdrw's try again with a cdr and see what comes up. Are you able to play the cd on your system, if so it probably works. Also maybe another module like ide-cd is being loaded before ide-scsi. I had this problem a few days ago check out the thread on ide-scsi not booting for a good answer.
