This is not true.  You can use the ATAPI interface to burn cd's as 
well.  xcdroast 
<http://freshmeat.net/projects/xcdroast/?topic_id=118%2C845%2C137> 
supports it, and I'm assuming others as well.  This route requires no 
recompiling of the kernel, loading of scsi modules, or kernel 
parameters.  Try: cdrecord -scanbus dev=ATAPI.  Make sure that you 
didn't pass the hdx=ide-scsi prarameter to the kernel at boot.
