Maybe offtopic, maybe you already know this, but a little advice from someone who's suffered through it can't hurt, can it?
1. CD-R / CD-RW support has only recently become useable, so you want to make sure you have the latest kernel (at least 2.2.13) to do it.
2. If you have an ATAPI (IDE) burner, run "insmod ide-scsi". For me, it will only work if the "ide-cd" module is not present, so also try "rmmod ide-cd".
3. "blank=fast" seems to work only if the CD is in perfect condition, so if you halt the CD-RW burn then you'll need to do a "full" erase before cdrecord will listen to you again.
The HOWTO and the cdrecord man page provide just about everything you need to know beyond that.
