I want you to know that you are not alone. I haven't been able to make my cd drives look scsi, when I remove all ide to cd drives, my system goes crazy and it never goes beyond IRQ-madness, without ever the kernel getting to boot completely. In my case I am afraid that it is a difficult hardware the culprit. If you want I can send you that image (2.4.22, compiled with kernel package), which might work for you.

In general, kernels 2.4.22 and 2.4.21 have proved difficult for me. An interesting detail is that Knoppix does the scsi change in the same machine very well. I haven't been able to reproduce it.
