I was having this problem also. It seems that I could mount as root after a
fresh boot, but not as a user. Once the drive was mounted by root, other users
could mount also. Seems that the ide-scsi module was not being loaded.
Try doing an "insmod ide-scsi" right after booting, then see if you can mount
the disk as user. If that works create an initrd and add it to lilo
