Most likely ide-cd is starting before ide-scsi and grabbing your CDROM
device. At least this is the case with 2.4.18-k7 on my box. 

I have a file /etc/modutils/cdrw with the following contents:

# First, get the ide-cd drive to not latch onto /dev/hdd
options ide-cd ignore=hdd
#
#
# Set up an alias for /dev/scd0 to load sr_mod
alias scd0 sr_mod
#
#
# Now get ide-cd followed by ide-scsi loaded before the SCSI drivers
pre-install sg        modprobe ide-scsi
pre-install sr_mod    modprobe ide-scsi
pre-install ide-scsi  modprobe ide-cd
# end of cdrw file

Run update-modules and when you boot the next time everything should
be okay (note that hdd is my CDRW drive).

Cheers!
