The 2.6 kernel uses the ide-cd driver instead. Sometimes the CDROM needs 
this added to the grub.conf file.

/dev/cdrom or /dev/cdwriter? (pointing to /dev/hdc)

I'm on an FC1 nstallation right now. ls -la /dev/cd* gives me the below 
output. FC2 of course should be different.

lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root     9 Jan  2 17:07 /dev/cdrom -> /dev/scd0
.....
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root     8 May  3 06:52 /dev/cdwriter -> /dev/sg0

Have you tried to burn using the nautilus CD burner feature? (right 
click on ISO file. Choose write to CD.)
