Yes, I did indeed have conflicts between the IDE CDROM support and the SCSI
emulation. Took me quite some time to get it sorted out. Ah, here we go.
Found it. From the help blurb in the SCSI emulation section of make
menuconfig:
If both this SCSI emulation and native ATAPI support are compiled into the
kernel, the native support will be used.
So, take out the built-in IDE CDROM support and all will be well.

Uhh, you sure about that? Here's the stanza from my lilo.conf on the system
where I have an IDE CDRW drive being used via SCSI emulation:
image=/vmlinuz-2.4.0-try1
label=linux2.4/fb
read-only
vga=792
append="hdc=ide-scsi video=atyfb:1024x768,font:8x16"
This is the stanze from the kernel I am currently running.
