Here is what conf.modules has:
alias scsi_hostadapter1 ide-scsi
alias sound es1371
post-install usb-storage modprobe usbkbd; modprobe keybdev
alias scsi_hostadapter aic7xxx
alias eth0 3c59x
alias parport_lowlevel parport_pc
alias eth1 3c59x
pre-install plip modprobe parport_pc ; echo 7 > /proc/parport/0/irq
alias block-major-11 scsi_hostadapter
alias usb-interface usb-uhci
pre-install pcmcia_core /etc/rc.d/init.d/pcmcia start
post-install supermount modprobe scsi_hostadapter ; modprobe
scsi_hostadapter1
Here is what cdrecord has to say:
[root@kcinpc etc]# cdrecord -scanbus

Here is what cdrecord -scanbus says after insmod ide-scsi
