Okay, I'm getting sick of this (sorry ;-):

Consider passing the "-v" option to cdrecord for more verbose messages.

cdrecord requires at least one option:
   dev=(device)   -- e.g., device=0,0,0

You can list your devices with "cdrecord -scanbus".  If your CD-R is an
ATA device, you need to use ATA-to-SCSI emulation by reserving the ATA
device at boot with "hdX=ide-scsi" (where hdX is the ATA device -- e.g.,
hdc = secondary/master).

Other options to consider:
   speed=(speed)        -- e.g., speed=8
   fs=(software buffer) -- e.g., fs=12m

The "software buffer" is in addition to the hardware buffer.

E.g., my typical burning command-line is:
   cdrecord device=0,0,0 speed=24 fs=12m -eject -v (isofile)

You can also put those first three settings in /etc/cdrecord.conf so you
don't have to type them on the command line.
