You must load the necessary kernel modules:

/sbin/modprobe ide-scsi 
/sbin/modprobe sg               # also reports on ATAPI CD-R devices

Place these lines at the end of your /etc/rc.d/rc.local, or they can
probaby be invoked from /etc/modules.conf or from /etc/modules.

Confirm their presence by lsmod as root.
