I recently had to change motherboards on an FC4 existing system. After changing to the ECS 755-A2 MB, my CD burner would cause my system to hang whenever I tried to read or write a CD. The burner worked fine on the "same" system with the previous motherboard.
I tried performing a clean install of FC5, but I have the same results; system hangs on read or write for that drive. I performed the access as root in every case.
Here is the output from "cdrecord -scanbus", the drive in question is listed first:
