Are you sure that your kernel has iso9660 support? cat /proc/filesystems to
see if iso9660 is listed. "modprobe isofs" if it isn't listed and then
verify that it is listed.

You should not need to do this ... at least I don't do it and my cdrom works

ide-scsi should only be needed for cd burning and it isn't needed even for
that in 2.6. Is this a kernel that you compiled yourself or a standard
distribution kernel?
