What kernel are you using? 2.6 needs no scsi emulation.
Did you install udev by chance?

my kernel is 2.6.1


what is udev? how do i install it ?

Forget udev- it was just a guess. You can't access those drives via scsi device naming. Just use the actual device name like /dev/hdb and feed that to cdparanoia
