Turning off ide-cdrom support is not really necessary if you give lilo 
the boot option:

append="hdd=ide-scsi"   # try to use scsi emulation for my ATAPI-cdrom

(Replace "hdd" with your ide cdrom port)

I have an ATAPI CD-ROM (no writer) that I use as a generic-SCSI 
device in this way to let cdrdao do audio grabbing :)

I found this lilo-ide-ignore-trick in the newest CD-Writing-Howto:
