Have you done this this way successfully before?
On 2.0.x kernels, the SCSI emulation help specifically says to
disable ATAPI CDROM support beacuse it will be used over SCSI
emulation. Thus it's my understanding that a device _already_
detected as ATAPI CDROM will never be detected as SCSI emulated.
Try disabling ATAPI CDROM support and compiling SCSI emulation,
SCSI support and SCSI CD-ROM support directly into the kernel
without using modules (or at the very least, don't compile in
ATAPI CDROM support at all).
