That's my Mitsumi CR-4804 TE CD-RW. Harddrake still claimed that the CD-ROM drive (Liteon LTN 403L) was a scsi drive. and showed the CD-RW not at all. Plus I kept seeing this or something like it in the logs: Jan 21 13:04:02 localhost kernel: ide-scsi: hdc: unsupported command in request queue (0) Jan 21 14:31:18 localhost last message repeated 14 times Jan 21 14:42:38 localhost last message repeated 36 times Jan 21 14:53:40 localhost last message repeated 36 times which makes sense when the thing is mis-identified. > > if there, remove, reboot 2-3 times and see if reappears.

I chased every file I could think of all day trying to make things work correctly, then re-installed 9.1beta2 on a new 40 GB drive that had nothing on it at all. Same thing. The addition of hdc=ide-cdrom (thanks Pixel!) seems to have improved things. I'll report back after I reboot again since I just installed the latest initscripts.
