    Okay. Tricky.

    First off I'd like to thank the American Public... (err oops wrong
    forum)

    Now seriously, I am to assume you have setup a proper grub stanza in
    /boot/grub/menu.lst

    title Linux-ide-scsi
            root (hd0,0)
            kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.20-xfs ro \
             root=/dev/hda2 hde=ide-scsi
            initrd /initrd.img-2.4.20-xfs

    Then you have put in your SCSI Controller's module in /etc/modules as
    well as sr_mod and any other modules needed.

    You should be able to get at your IDE-CD-RW and your Panasonic SCSI
    CD-ROM.
