I've had success in dealing with some burning problems by running :

some burners don't like full DMA. That said, I was able to burn audio CD's on
my burner with full DMA enable, but couldn't burn data CD's without running
the above command.
I also religiously use the ide-scsi layer, but that can be a bit tricky to set
up.

mine's real brand spankin' new
I have a 52x32x52x LG writer, these are my experiences:
- Depending on your version of cdrecord, you'd better have ide-scsi
emulation (some models are supported already via ATAPI)
- Also make sure you have the burner on the PRIMARI bus of your IDE
channel (I have mine as primary and my DVD as secondary, both on ide-scsi)
- Try using cdrdao also (XCDRoast is more like a *frontend* for cdrecord
*and* cdrdao, but depending on the options selected it will use either
one or the other).
- Depending on your distro, you may have real trouble to make you CD
writer work as a regular user (without you needing to change a ton of
perms, that is), RH is especially difficult here (but still possible, if
you like check this post I made over at
http://www.slackercentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=47869, I there
post about how to obtain user access to the writer. how long have you had your burner?.....
mine is pooping out thesedays after a lot of wear and tear and im
getting about the same ratio of coasters too.
the other thing i'm guessing at is that maybe cdrecord / xcdroast arent
compatible with 52x burners?....
now this is an interesting theory - ties into the other guy's suggestion
of burning slower. I'd bet that would work if not being compatible with
52x was the problem
I did notice stuff like, on xcdroast, it would go to write the first track
and just apparentely haul ass - it would report that it was burning at
like 243x - like WHOA slow down there cheeko! maybe forcing a certain
speed (slower than 52x) would prevent this from happening
