Why does it need the ide-scsi module to mount? You should only need the
ide-scsi module to do CD Burning. Or -possibly- to watch DVD's ... Or
perhaps it is a strange device.
Have you tried, from the command line, "mount /dev/hda /mnt/cdrom" ? You
might need to add "mount -t iso9660 /dev/hda /mnt/cdrom" or "mount -t hfs
/dev/hda /mnt/cdrom" depending ...
If you do need the ide-scsi module, look at the end of the `dmesg` output
after doing the insmod.
