Why don't you try:
insmod ide-scsi
(be logged on as root)
if it is already loaded, try mounting sr0, as ide-scsi puts it on as a generic
scsi device, not a block device. I too have an IDE CDRW on hdc (slave drive on
ide1) and mine shows up for reading a /dev/sr0. I made a symbolic link cdrw ->
/dev/sr0 to facilitate remembering this fact.
Here is my /dev listing for my cd-roms:
brw------- 1 chris root 22, 64 Jul 22 11:01 cdrom
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 8 May 19 08:53 cdrw -> /dev/sr0
brw-r--r-- 1 root root 11, 0 Jul 7 1999 sr0
