Here is what I discovered: with the block-major-11 alias in, mounting /dev/cdrom (scd0) loads the ide-scsi module (nothing else), but I then get the "major number" error. If I comment out the block-major-11 alias, I get the same error, but the sr_mod module and the cdrom module are both loaded. If I manually load the ide-scsi module, I can mount the drive successfulyy. So, I need to play with the aliases in modules.conf some more, but I am close. Hope this helps in your quest. Thx...
