2.5.54 ide-scsi and cdrecord

[sean darcy]

ide-scsi refuses to boot with A NULL pointer oops (is  there a patch yet?). 
But I figured it didn't matter because I could use cdrecord without the scsi 
layer. So I rebuilt 2.5.54 w/o scsi. Here's the dmesg:

.............

I got cdrecord 2.0:

[root@amd1900 root]# cdrecord -scanbus -dev=ATAPI
Cdrecord 2.0 (i686-pc-linux-gnu) Copyright (C) 1995-2002 J?rg Schilling
scsidev: 'ATAPI'
devname: 'ATAPI'
scsibus: -2 target: -2 lun: -2
Warning: Using ATA Packet interface.
Warning: The related libscg interface code is in pre alpha.
Warning: There may be fatal problems.
cdrecord: No such device or address. Cannot open SCSI driver.
cdrecord: For possible targets try 'cdrecord -scanbus'. Make sure you are 
root.
cdrecord: For possible transport specifiers try 'cdrecord dev=help'.

FWIW, I also tried just cdrecord -scanbus

What am I missing? I thought we didn't need the scsi layer anymore.
