You don't have to recompile the kernel. A boot option (to make it permanent
put it in /etc/lilo.conf as an "append" line, see lilo.conf manpages)
The option is:
"/dev/hdx=ide-scsi"
x beeing your CD-RW drive device number.
To test it you can type that option at boot time after the label, that is
something like:
linux /dev/hdx=ide-scsi
in lilo.conf it will look like:
append = "/dev/hdx=ide-scsi"
This will tell the kernel to not alocate this device for ide-cdr but to leave
it for ide-scsi emulation. This has to be compiled for the kernel and it
usually is available as a module. If not you will have to recompile the
kernel after all.
check with lsmod if the ide-scsi module is actually loaded, otherwise load
it with modprobe or insmod. An entry in /etc/modules.conf will automate the
process.
Your CD-RW will then be /dev/scd0 and the generic device /dev/sgX (probably
X=0) will the one cdrecord want's to talk to (look at the access rights).
cdrecord -scanbus will then show the CD-RW. If not go back and figure out
what is going wrong during device allocation/detection.
