If the cdrom is a ATAPI IDE (plain cdrom) no write, then why not remove the
scsi controler. After all its just sitting there doing nothing.
I cant comment further because i dont know what distro you have.
But if the module is getting loaded then put an entry in /etc/modules.conf
to stop it getting loaded.
Possably something like;
alias scsi_hostadapter off
Thats a guess, take a gander at the Modules-HOWTO.
