I notice in dmesg the cd-rw isn't picked up as it was when aha1542 was compilied in.  sg and scsi_mod are loaded, using lsmod I see scsi_mod used by both 1542 and sg.

When I tried to use the pre-packaged kernels in Woody I found there
seemed to be an awful lot of basic necessary stuff not there.  I'd
recommend building your own kernel from the Debian kernel source
package.  It's only 2 commands to do the build and the output is then
your very own custom .deb ready to install with dpkg.

It looks like you don't have the relevant modules built/loaded to access
the CD drive as a SCSI device.
