When I used 2.4 with scsi emulation, i had troubles setting dma on the
CDROM. I didn't find out on which device I should run hdparm, so I ran
in directly on /dev/hdb (like if it was not emulated) and it worked...
The only catch was that because of the emulation, devfs didn't create
/dev/hdb, so i had to do it manually with mknod /dev/hdb b 3 64
May be worth a try ;)

On the other hand I vaguely remember in the end of using 2.4 
I tried the experimental ATAPI interface that was in 2.4 and it was
working for me..., so you could really try that.
