The HOWTOs say that if -both- the CD-ROM ATAPI native support and
the ide-scsi emulation support are compiled into the kernel itself,
then the first (native support) takes precedences automatically.
See, for example:
http://www.kernel-panic.org/index.pl/ide-scsi_howto
and:
http://user.cs.tu-berlin.de/~gregorrg/compaq/cdr_howto.html

So you must compile as a module either the ATAPI CD-ROM driver or the
ide-scsi driver. I, for one, always built the IDE-ATAPI into the kernel
and the ide-scsi as a module, so I couldn't tell if it ever worked in
any kernel version when both are compiled into the kernel itself.
