Andre, While trying to get my CD-R drive working under test11, I discovered that the hdx=scsi kernel parameter is disabled unless both IDE-SCSI support and SCSI are compiled in statically. That definitely wasn't the case in my configuration and I think it unlikely to be common. The attached patch adds in the _MODULE definition checks and it should apply cleanly even in test13-pre2. It's not overly pretty, though, so maybe you can come up with something better.
