You need to add the line for usbdvfs to make is accessible under
/proc/bus/usb.

That doesn't mean anything. You must rerun lilo to save the changes to
your bootloader configuration.

This shows that your system uses the ide-cd driver indtead of ide-scsi.
That is why they aren't listed in /proc/scsi/scsi.

See? That should be "auto BOOT_IMAGE=Linux root=301 hdc=ide-scsi
hdd=ide-scsi". Obviously it isn't. Rerun lilo. Or, as you use a module
configuration, add the following line to some file in /etc/modutils/
(/etc/modutils/ide-cd for erxample):
options ide-cd ignore=hdc ignore=hdd
next, run update-modules to save the changes to /etc/modules.conf and
unload the ide-cd driver:
#rmmod ide-cd
Unload the ide-scsi driver:
#rmmod ide-scsi
Now reload the ide-scsi driver:
#modprobe ide-scsi.
