    currently

auto BOOT_IMAGE=Linux ro root=801

but I have also tried that :)

auto BOOT_IMAGE=Linux ro root=801 hda=ide-scsi

    I've also got
options ide-cd ignore=hd
in /etc/modules.conf ....

but it does not help. removing this and doing an rmmod ide-cd, modprobe 
ide-cd bring the cdrom back as an ide device unforintally I can't write 
with that.
