I have an IDE cd burner and have had similar problems to what you describe
above. I was able to get it working by manually inserting the ide-scsi module
into the kernel after boot even though hdc=ide-scsi is on grub's startup
string. Run `lsmod` to see if the ide-scsi module isn't already loaded and if
it isn't run `modprobe ide-scsi` from the command line as root. Then try
mounting the cdrom using the same command you have above. If this works (as it
does on mine) then you can tack `modprobe ide-scsi` onto the end of your
/etc/rc.d/rc.local startup file to have it done automatically.
