If you're using the bare.i kernel that comes with slackware then it does not come with SCSI support enabled, and it seems like gtoaster is trying to access your burner using SCSI emulation.

Not sure about fixes, but I would check the gtoaster documentation and see if there is a way to disable SCSI emulation and force it to use IDE. I personally use X-CDRoast, and it works fine without SCSI emulation.

this is the error i get when i try to use xcdroast and cdrecord is installed

root@garrett:/home/garrett# xcdroast

** WARNING **: No /usr/local/bin/cdrecord installed

** WARNING **: (Invalid lib-directory? Check -l option)

sounds like xcdroast is looking for the cdrecord executable in /usr/local/bin

locate the cdrecord file:

locate cdrecord

and then make a link to /usr/local/bin

ln -s /path/to/cdrecord /usr/local/bin/cdrecord

and see if that does the trick.
