Hopping in late (I went through a similar learning experience)...
I added:
- "hdc=ide-scsi" to my GRUB menu-list:
# kopt=root=/dev/hda2 ro vga=6 noapic hdc=ide-scsi
- cdrecord -scanbus in my case provides:
0,0,0 0) 'TEAC ' 'DW-224E ' '1.0A' Removable CD-ROM
- I get 'tao' (track at once) as the recommended format. Though I'm
not sure of this.
- At the advice of a friend, I add '-pad' to the command to ensure
padding to an appropriate number of blocks. Well-constructed ISOs
shouldn't require this.
- Many (most?) current drives support "burnfree", which is a CDR
extension that has the drive compensate for the input buffer draining
to zero. After coastering a few disks, I've burned > 150 disks w/o
problems (other than misplaced labels ;-).
My final command:
sudo cdrecord -v driveropts=burnfree -dev 0,0,0 -pad -tao -eject <image>
Peace.
