for 2.6 you need to drop the "ide-scsi" part (and maybe fix up the /dev/cdrom symlink)
Removing the ide=scsi fixed the problem--thanks
hi i have the same problem! how do i remove the ide=scsi and where ? thanx a lot
See /boot/grub/grub.conf, the first paragraph that starts with 'title', and the line in that paragraph that starts with 'kernel'. Near the end of the line, you should see 'ide=scsi'. Delete that, save, and reboot.
