The stock kernels have ide-cd _not_ as a module, but statically
built into the kernel. So telling the ide-cd module to ignore /dev/hdd
isn't going to work. You can either rebuild the kernel with ide-cd as a
module (and then it will work as-is) or pass the following line to the
kernel in your lilo.conf file or at the LILO prompt:
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.14-5.0
label=Linux
read-only
append="hdd=ide-scsi" <-----
Now the static ide-cd code in the kernel won't lock the device, and
ide-scsi will be able to grok it correctly.
Good luck!
