Well that isn't good!

What you should be seeing is something like this:
~ > /sbin/cdrom_id --export /dev/hdc; echo ; /sbin/ata_id --export /dev/hdc
ID_CDROM=1
ID_CDROM_CD_R=1
ID_CDROM_CD_RW=1
ID_CDROM_DVD=1
ID_CDROM_DVD_R=1
ID_CDROM_MRW=1
ID_CDROM_MRW_W=1
ID_CDROM_RAM=1

ID_TYPE=cd
ID_MODEL=PIONEER_DVD-RW_DVR-110D
ID_SERIAL=
ID_REVISION=1.17
ID_BUS=ata

Was this done after following my earlier advice to modularize your IDE
system, and if so, did you load the necessary modules (modprobe ide-cd
it821x)?

If so, the kernel should be finding the devices.  What does "find /sys
| grep /ide" report?

Can you send me your full dmesg output?

Can you try removing one of the drives (hdb)?  Maybe this is a hardware issue...
