cdrecord -scanbus

It is possible that Fedora uses the new 2.6 kernel (what does "uname -r"
say?), and cdrecord defaults to scanning IDE devices. Try "cdrecord
dev=help", and then "cdrecord -scanbus dev=<transport name>" where
<transport name> is reported by the "dev=help" option. Something like
"dev=sg" or "dev=pg" may help.

Try loading the modules first as Lennart suggested.
