Why is K3b so slow to launch in Mandrake 9.2?

I have two CD drives, a CD-RW and a CD-R. When I launch K3b it takes an
age to launch while it tells me it is scanning drives. When it
eventually fires up I get a message box telling me that:

"No support for ATAPI with cdrdao
You will not be able to use all your reading devices as copy sources
since there is at least one not configured to use SCSI emulation and
your system does not support ATAPI with cdrdao.
Solution: The best and recommended solution is to enable ide-scsi (SCSI
emulation) for all writer devices. This way you won't have any problems."

How do I enable scsi emulation and why do I need it? Neither of my
drives are scsi drives!

Seems odd to me, and I am a bit confused by this...

Here is my current fstab.
