I believe it might be more accurate to say that ide-scsi cdrom doesn't
coexist with ide cdrom very well. It hasn't for some time, at least in
the development series in my experience. For instance, note below how
your cdrom and cdrw show up both on the ide scan and the scsi scan.
I've found two approaches which work. The first is build everything in
the kernel modular and insert the appropriate drivers depending on whether
you want to use cdrcord or not. The second approach is to not build any
support for ide cdrom at all. It requires different symlinks for
/dev/cdrom and friends, but that is about it. I have yet to find a
program which wouldn't work under this setup. The second approach is the
one I reccommend, and I've used it since early in the 2.3 series kernels.
