What is happening here is that the scsi emulator for IDE is being
loaded, and possibly it is blowing away your other scsi devices (The scsi
emulator for Parallel Port, and the scsi scanner).
I suspect a rmmod ide-scsi will allow you to use those devices.
Note that with the ide-scsi module intalled, the cdrom drive is no
longer /dev/hdx, but /dev/scdx, and any references to the IDE port it is
on will fail.
