Yes, I think that your CDRW/SCSI hardware setup is messed up.  Check the 
cables carefully -- you might try a known good cable, and also check if other 
SCSI devices will work properly on this adaptor (it looks like a disk is on 
it, so I assume that's working ok :)).  Have you terminated the SCSI bus 
correctly after adding the CDRW?  I use cdrecord on 2.2.6-STABLE with an NCR 
PCI SCSI adaptor and the Ricoh MP6200S, and it works with no errors, even for 
disk-sized (650Mb) transfers.  When I power up my CDRW led flashes orange, 
then turns green and stays that way.  I also get more probe info from my CDRW 
than you do:

    [...]
    ncr0 <ncr 53c810a fast10 scsi> rev 18 int a irq 11 on pci0:11:0
    ncr0 waiting for scsi devices to settle
    (ncr0:1:0): "RICOH MP6201S 2.03" type 5 removable SCSI 2
    cd0(ncr0:1:0): CD-ROM cd present [111623 x 2048 byte records]
    [...]

This all points to a hardware problem on your system.  If all else fails I'd 
try exchanging the CDRW unit.

Good luck!
