Ok, you're right, it really does burn cds.

So, you're still not able to burn them? Try erasing an RW or writting
an RW (so you don't spent cds). You should be able to do that with
k3b, unless you already have mounted the cd (the erase and burn
operations don't need the drive mounted) but I suppose that would echo
an error.

You don't need anything special on your kernel to burn cds. At least I
have nothing special on mine. K3b does it all for me.
