Hello Roy,
I have in my "/etc/init.d/boot.local an entry:
/sbin/modprobe ide-scsi
and my ATAPI DVD-ROM and CD-RW burner work just fine. I only use Xcdroast so YMMV.

I am trying to get SuSE Linux 7.3 to write and burn a CD-R, and have been folowing the README for koncd. Managed to carry out all procedures outlined in the README namely
1) lines to /etc/modules.conf alias char-major-21 sg # line already there post-install sg modprobe "-k" ide-scsi # line added
2) /etc/lilo.conf append = "hdc=ide-scsi hdb=ide-scsi # line added
3) On reboot no ide-scsi module found with the command lsmod, but after entering # "-k" ide-scsi from the console prompt, the module is loaded
4) Subsequent steps 4,5,6 of the readme carried out ok except that in step 5 I found that /etc/fstab mounts the CD-WRITER as /dev/cdrecorder instead as /dev/cdr as mentioned in the README, so left it unchanged.
5) On running koncd setup there were no error messages, however to my surprise I could not perform any operations on a CD-R.
Would like to know how to get the ide-scsi module properly loaded and whether I need to add a line in /etc/fstab to mount /dev/cdr in addition to the line in fstab: /dev/cdrecorder /media/cdrecorder auto ro,noauto,user,exec 0 0 ?
Any other tips also please !
