For what little this is worth: I use a Yamaha CDRW6416S with the sym53c8xx driver (Diamond Fireport 40, 53c875 chipset) without any problems. XCDRoast works fine with the generic SCSI-3 mmc driver. This again points to a driver issue, not the drive or higher level SCSI code. Are you using the latest driver from Doug Ledford's aic7xxx support site (http://people.redhat.com/dledford/)? I had problems with older drivers included with the stock kernel (but that was an AHA2740 EISA adapter issue).
