I originally tried to use the Nautilus CD burning
utility, then k3b, then xcdroast. None would work.
In order to get some decent error messages to try to
troubleshoot the problem, I then switched to cdrecord.
I have tried burning as root and as normal user. The
hardware is OK since I can boot the same computer to
FC2 and burn CD's just fine.
Any pointers greatly appreciated.

I have an issue with one CD burner and not the other.
as root do:
#lshal < lshal-no-media.txt
with no media in the drive
then insert a blank media then do:
#lshal < lshal-with-media.txt
then do:
#diff lshal-no-media.txt lshal-with-media.txt
You should have some difference between those two files. If there is no
difference your problem is with hal.
I still haven't totally tracked who's responsible for hal but, at least
there's a start.
Best,
