Hi I altered the following in /etc/lilo.conf: append="hdd=ide-scsi" ==> append="hdc=ide-scsi hdd=ide-scsi" where hdd is my cd-writer. That made it work for me. Make sure you get the latest version of xcdroast (xcdroast-0.98alpha11-1)! Because the version RH ships doesn't allow non-root access if I'm not mistaken, anyway a lot has changed with the new release... Or you could try writing from the cli with cdrecord. I recently installed the latest version of cdrecord and my first attempt to burn cds from the cli were successful!
