Is it possible that you are using the cd through scsi emulation (common
for burners), there was some point were it started requiring ide-scsi
on me.
/etc/modules is generated using the files in /etc/modutils.d. You will
need to find the line you want in there, change it and run
update-modules.
Another option is if you are using usb-storage, I think it also needs
ide-scsi
