Thank you for the hint. After reading your reply, i recompiled the kernel,
enabling the scsi-ide support and disabling the ide cdrom capability.
As you have foreseen, the cd burner now works properly.

I've looked for it in my /dev: /dev/cdrom points to /dev/hdd (the ide
device), while /dev/cdrom1 points to /dev/scd0

Yep, in fact so has happened :-(

To make both the cd-rom and the burner work, i've enabled both the
ide-scsi and the ide-cdrom things in the kernel. Of course, after booting
this kernel, the burner was recognized as an ide-device, so it didn't want
to work. The workaround was, as you wrote, to add a line within the
grub.conf file (RH 8 comes with grub), that is:
hdc=ide-scsi
Now, with this option, both the cdrom and the burner work smoothly.
Thank you again for the help...
