I have another oops for you with 2.6.0-test4-mm3-1 and ide-scsi. 

ide-scsi is a dead duck.  defunct.  kaput.  Don't use it.  It's only being
kept around for weirdo things like IDE-based tape drives, scanners, etc.

Just use /dev/hdX directly.

That's a real shame ... it seemed to work fine until recently. Some
of the DVD writers (eg the one I have - Sony DRU500A or whatever)

Then maybe it would be a really good idea to find out why it doesn't
work with ide-cd. What are the symptoms?

need it. Is it unfixable? or just nobody's done it?

It's not unfixable, there's just not a lot of motivation to fix it since
it's basically dead.
