CD-Burner Error

[tylerwylie]

I'm running a MATSHITA cd-burner, and I'll post the log... Someone told me in #gentoo it is related to scsi emulation but on gentoo-wiki.com the howto has yet to be written.

So far I've only been able to burn CD"s in a Fedora installation and I guess that's because they configured my IDE Atapi cdrom correctly with SCSI emulation or whatnot.
This was done using a rightclick utility in Gnome, so I figured it's nautilus' trying to burn my CD

Have you tried burning as root? I had a problem similar to this when I switched to udev. Had to add my normal user to the 'disk' group.
