I have an issue with cdrecord though and I can't figure it out. I use Webmin, which basically just creates an iso and then uses cdrecord to burn it and it worked fine with previously installed CentOS 4 (I wiped and reinstalled about 8 months ago).
This is the command that Webmin tries to execute...
cdrecord -v dev=0,0,0 speed=4 -isosize \ '/home/Linux/CentOS-4/CentOS-4.2-i386-bin4of4.iso'
I am certainly no expert at cdrecord .. but I would drop the "-isosize". Also, you may be able to use dev=</dev/devicename> as well.

I am sure that I didn't have this problem before (perhaps something CentOS 4.1 but I have upgraded a number of times).
I just use K3B to do all my recording now with CentOS-4 ... GUI will be the death of us all ... :)
But I remember something about the 2.6 kernel and use of the ATAPI target being required instead of the old IDE-SCSI method when using cdrecord.
I don't remember the particulars, but google might.
---- I started with google and knew that I didn't want to try passing kernel parameters like hdc=ide-scsi and couldn't find it but wasn't sure where to go with it.
Turns out... dev=ATAPI:0,0,0
was the answer. Added it to both /etc/webmin/burner/config and to /etc/cdrecord.conf to be safe but from cli, I only needed to pass the dev as above, once addded to /etc/cdrecord.conf, I didn't need to bother and in webmin's config, it works fine.
Thanks all
