Create a file called /etc/modutils/cdrw with the following lines
# Stuff to make /dev/hdc my CDROM with ide-cd
# and to make /dev/hdd my CD-RW with ide-scsi
# -- from the CD-Writing HOWTO :-)
#
# 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 File
Now run 'update-modules' and if you are using a kernel like
2.4.18-{arch} you should be there.
Of course, be sure to change the device names to what you want. In my
case hdd is the burner, hdc is a DVD ROM. The burner is seen as
/dev/scd0.

Well, probably this is okay. Is ide-cd loaded when you tried this?
Cheers!
