Can you do an 

rmmod ide-cd

before doing 

modprobe ide-scsi

Just to see if the ide-scsi module loads at all.  I'm not sure if this
will make the CDRW available to cdrecord though I seem to remember doing
something like that in my rc.local before I figured out how to do it
properly...

Using grub, the options just go on the end of the "kernel=" line in 
/etc/grub.conf

Incidentally, I have both "hdc=ide-scsi" and "hdd-ide-scsi" in my
lilo.conf so the CDROM drive is also seen as a scsi device.  This means
that stuff like cdparanoia or cdda2wav (can't remember which) can use the
CDROM as an audio ripping source (it refuses to find/use an IDE device).
