If you're using lilo, verify that you have

	append="hdx=ide-scsi"
(replace "hdx" with the appropriate device) in your /etc/lilo.conf file
and re-run lilo or add it to your /boot/grub/grub.conf file.

This causes the kernel to treat your CDRW drive as though it were
SCSI, and forces the system to load the ide-scsi module.  gtoaster,
xcdroast, cdrecord, cdrdao and the rest ONLY talk to SCSI devices, and
this makes your IDE drive LOOK like SCSI.
