Yes, I guess it's a requirement. But it can be not enough.

I'm not sure about device as you set the link '/dev/cdrom correctly (below).

I use Sony CRX-100E and I don't have this item in my 'conf.modules'. I'm not sure but
this may cause the problem.

And what 'cat /proc/devices' says? Does it list 'sr' under block devices section?

Please see comments above...
It sounds pretty strange. I can make just a couple of remarks:
1) 'hdc=ide-scsi' should be added to kernel loading parameters. I don't know how to do
it with 'loadlin' though.
2) The first line in 'conf.modules' looks rather suspicious. I would try to remove it
temporary just to make a try.
3) Add line 'ide-scsi' to '/etc/modules'.
4) Set permissions to '666' or even something more relaxed on both '/dev/cdrom' and
'/dev/scd0'.
Hope it helps.
Serge
