I think you said earlier that the CD-R was on hda? And that it worked?
You can mount discs and all?

Ok, when you loaded ide-scsi, did it see the drive? It should have logged
something saying that it had detected a drive to manage.

It should look like this (unused LUN's removed):

You see the normal SCSI bus on my NCR810 card first, with the tape drive
and the DVD, and then the simulated SCSI bus produced by ide-scsi that has
my Zip and my burner on it.
So.
It seems that something else is taking control of the device before
ide-scsi gets a chance to. That's usually ide-cd, the normal IDE CDROM
driver in the kernel. You need to either leave it out (since you can just
let ide-scsi do everything), or else tell it to ignore the burner.
Or make it a module, and load one or the other when you want them. That
would pretty much mean that you'd have to load ide-scsi by hand when you
wanted it, unless you engaged in some trickery in /etc/modutils.
Try telling ide-cd to ignore the drive, first. Add:
append="hda=ide-scsi"
to your boot (in lilo.conf) and see then whether ide-scsi can control the
drive.
