Then I think I know what happens. When ide-scsi is unloaded, device
nodes are destroyed. They should be recreated on acess, but are not. It
means, that cdrecord is using some device nodes that are not listed in
/dev/modules.devfs
Could you please remove ide-scsi and then run
strace -f cdrecord -scanbus
(you may want -o /tmp/log option for strace as well)
this will show what nodes it tried to access.
I'll check it today or tomorrow as well.
