The CD writing howto is 3 years old. Is it still reliable? Do we still have to do all of that scsi emulation thing?

I do not know about DVD writer, but CD writer you need to enable scsi emulation.

why do you want to learn about CD writing?
There are programs out there which can burn a DVD disk. For example, K3b-cvs (http://www.k3b.org) supports DVD burning.

The best thing you can do is to go to
http://freshmeat.net and search for DVD burning programs. Pick one and use it

I really don't trust that document. I'd like to know what I have to do with SCSI emulation for 2.4.22. Can anyone help?

This doc is reliable for everything < kernel-2.5 (except the versions of cdrtools etc.). Did you try it? If not, how can you say "I don't trust it"

Well for one I can't find ide-scsi in the make menuconfig. The other is I am using grub not lilo.

ide-scsi is the name of the resulting module. You have to add "SCSI-Emulation Support" in menu-/xconfig. You can find it in the ide-setup menu.

BTW: I'm sure you could have found it by searching the forums. There is a huge Thread about it in the "Documentation"-Forum.

Not using ide-scsi anymore with 2.6 kernels, in fact it does not even work for me, total mess using ide-scsi, just burnt a few coasters then tried something a friend told me to try out. Just compiled latest cdrtools and that's that.

Actually scsi emulation is not required for CD burning anymore. If you do a search on these forums you should find several threads discussing how to setup CD burning without scsi emulation. I know there are a couple of really good how-to posts around here somewhere.

though unless i am mistaken, this is something
which can only be done with 2.6 kernels.

if you use xcdroast (like i do) you can forget any scsi emulation! it just works fine with ide...

try it
(emerge xcdroast)

I don't believe it's a 2.6 only solution. I had it working under gentoo-sources 2.4.20 earlier this year, but maybe there have been software updates that have broken that ability in the 2.4 series kernel.

Well. I have ide-scsi installed, and I get this

I also get this:

try cdrecord dev=ATAPI:0,0,0 -scanbus.

The cd burner should just appear in the xcdroast screen when you start it up...

theres also a masssssive thread about it on the docs forum

I've seen that thread, but it's a boat load of stuff to sort through. XCDRoast sees my burner, but k3b doesn't. XCDRoast didn't see it until I turned off ide-scsi.
