This is one of those "famous" errors the ide-scsi layer is known to
produce, sometimes, not for all. It is tricky and depends on hardware
used, especially the burning device. I don't see a brand name from the
scanbus output. Check for a firmware update for the device. Check how
DMA mode is set for the device and change it. You will find some hints
googling.
