That smells like a problem I had when I was first trying to get my CD
writer working.  Turned out I hadn't installed the kernel modules for
SCSI support.  I had the "sg" and "ide-scsi" modules, but not the core
scsi stuff.  Maybe that's it?  Play with modprobe and lsmod and those
things to see what modules you have/need.
