I'm not sure that's going to happen, and I don't know that I want it
to. The ide-scsi seems to take a lot more CPU than the ATAPI driver,
even when just reading. And the kernel is smaller without ide-scsi,
since (almost) everyone has the ATAPI code in for IDE drives.

You still have to compile it, and SCSI core, sg, and sr in the kernel
as well. If you run 2.4.0 you almost certainly built it yourself and
have to do this. The simple entries are fine, but you need the modules.
And all the world's not Redhat, so the setup may vary.
