I'm pretty sure that RH does support it.  The put almost every module
in their kernels.  It is in my RH kernel from 6.2.

If you look in /lib/modules/<KERNELVERSION>/scsi you should see
ide-scsi.o.  What you need to do is tell lilo to tell the kernel to
use that driver.  It is something like "append hdd=ide-scsi" in your
/etc/lilo.conf file.  Then you rerun lilo.  No recompile needed.

Check the cdwriting howto for the exact command.  Actually, I think
someone gave it earlier in this thread.
