cdrecord and 2.6.8-2

Under the 2.6.x series of kernels, you don't need the ide-scsi
emulation anymore to burn a cd with cdrecord. Instead, configure your
kernel with the standard cd-rom support for ide drives. Also, since
you get to access your ide drive directly now, there's no more need to
do the bus scanning either. So, something like:

cdrecord dev=/dev/hdc file.iso

will cause cdrecord to give you a warning that you're doing this on
linux 2.6, which you can safely ignore, and it should go off, and
happily burn your cd for you. Hth.
