Try putting the following in /etc/modules.d/cdrw

options ide-cd ignore=hdc
alias scd0 sr_mod
pre-install sg modprobe -k ide-scsi
pre-install sr_mod modprobe -k ide-scsi
pre-install ide-scsi modprobe -k ide-cd

Then:

# modules-update

You may need to reboot.

Also; ide-cd, ide-scsi, sr_mod and sg must all be modules.
