Not sure what else to test/verify... the same hardware with FC2 used to work fine even for some time on FC3... then there was this kernel ugrade and since then (its been a few months now), its stopped working...

Do you remember if you could burn CDs using the 2.6.10 kernel?  If so
you can still download and install it.  You can get the rpm from here:
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/3/i386/

After you download the file, install it using "rpm -ivh kernel-2.6.10....rpm".
