It occurs to me that maybe CentOS 4.5 wants to handle my CD-ROM as a

I can't answer the 4.5 specific aspect, but in fact all ATAPI devices
(CDs,, etc) attached to ATA/IDE use the SCSI command set, unlike IDE/ATA
hard disks, which use the old WDC1003 'commands'.
I think it is because we have a newer libata and are now using the
drivers from libata by default instead of the 'old' ide drivers.
