In my experience you really want to avoid ide-scsi emulation when using
2.6.x

I think you are better off trying to fix this ripping problem than the
other problem and stop using scsi emulation.
I would start looking at the device you are ripping from first.
Rather than ripping from /dev/cdrom (which could be linked to a scsi
device eg /dev/scd0 which you won't be using without scsi emulation) I
would try the actual ide device, /dev/hda or /dev/hdb or /dev/hdc or
/dev/hdd (depending on where your cd player is connected).
