So what you can try as root is: rmmod scsi_mod rmmod sg the do an lsmod again to make sure that they are gone. Notice that you don't even have ide-cd loaded which is the responsible one to give you ATAPI access. Now do: modprobe ide-cd and then lsmod to see what happened. What is puzzling though is how are these SCSI related modules loaded up since you don't have them in your modprobe.conf and as kernel command line arguments. Maybe the boot process loads them up? Anyway. If all of the above have worked you should have ATAPI access now to your CD drive. Do a typical: cdrecord -scanbus dev=ATAPI to see it. Let me know if this works. If it does then all we have to do is find out who and why loads the SCSI modules in your system, prevent that and you should be set to go! :-)
