What kernel are you running? If its the 2.6 kernel, then change the
cdrom line in your fstab file to:
/dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom auto defaults,ro,user,noexec,noauto 0 0

The only problem with this is that supermount no longer works. To get
supermount to work, you'd have to patch the kernel with the supermount
patch and then recompile. The above line will not mount your cdrom, and
you have to do it manually with this command: 'mount /dev/hdc'.

Did the vga=normal thing fix your boot problem?
