My fix for this (and probably not the best fix by any means) was to move the CDROM to be the slave on the primary controller. I *think* (I'm kinda guessing, but it worked for me) that it scans for drives sequentially (pri-master, pri-slave, sec-master, sec-slave) and stops looking once it finds an empty slot, or something like that.
