This may not be much of a responce but I settled on 'k3b' for burning. I
use Gnome and it runs fine under it but when you install it there isn't
an icon by default so either make one for it or just call 'k3b' as a
regular user from the command line. You aren't using 'ide-scsi=/dev/hdd'
(or whatever the proper syntax is) are you? The 2.6 kernel doesn't need
that.
