I just set up using SCSI emulation for my IDE CD drive with 2.2.18pre21 kernel. I have a couple of thoughts which might help.
When you change emulations your drive stops being /dev/hdd (for example) and starts being /dev/scd0 -- or at least, that's how you need to access it. You need to edit /etc/fstab to reflect this reality, and you may need to jiggle some links too, depending on how you're set up. You have to tell the ide-cd driver not to grab the drive by moves such as adding append="hdd=ide-scsi" in lilo.conf or options ide-cd ignore=hdd # tell the ide driver to keep off in modules.conf. I got all this from the CD-R howto.
