Well, there's your problem ... you didn't include SCSI CD-ROM support!
I deduced that you had included SCSI generic when you said the cd
burners were working :)
You must have SCSI CD-ROM support to use ide-scsi support.

I have (output snipped slightly)
Block devices:
1 ramdisk
2 fd
3 ide0
8 sd
11 sr
22 ide1
65 sd
66 sd
and lsmod says
$ lsmod
Module Size Used by Not tainted
floppy 45184 0 (autoclean)
st 26068 0
sym53c8xx 61240 0
sr_mod 11768 0 (unused)
natsemi 15784 1
rtc 5528 0 (autoclean)
sr_mod is the important bit here. The kernel config var is
"CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SR" (in 2.4.17 anyway)
Good luck,
