Is the sg module loaded?  Is the sr module loaded?  sg is scsi generic,
used to send low level commands to scsi devices.  sr is the scsi rom
driver for read only devices like cdrom and such.  I suspect it will
work fine if those are loaded.  cdrecord used to only support scsi
devices and would automatically look for them causing any needed modules
to be loaded.  I don't think it assumes that anymore, so I guess you
have to be sure your drivers are loaded.
