Three links out of three bad
/etc/fstab I bet has only /dev/cdrom2 and /dev/cdrom listed, so the one good
link doesn't point from anything that the system accesses.
As root
# rm /dev/cdrom2
# rm /dev/cdrom
# ln -s /dev/hdc /dev/cdrom
# ln -s /dev/scd0 /dev/cdrom2
That should fix it. The scsi module is loading, according to your other
info, so it should be only a linkage problem.
