Seems like the alsa drivers for your card aren't loaded. udev will only create
devices if they are there in kernel space.

You shouldn't be using ide-scsi with 2.6.x kernels anymore in general. Again
udev will only create devices that are actually there. Maybe you still have the
ide-scsi=hdc in the kernel cmdline (or something like that), iirc that will
cause ide-cd not to touch that drive and leave it for ide-scsi.

Unfortunately almost everything. Hal doesn't poll ide-cs drivers for media
changes because of problems with the kernel ide-cs driver. Apperently it will
give you an endless stream of hotplug events if you do that :(. As a result
ide-cs drivers aren't supported by gvm. I don't know the exact details and
i don't have such a device, so i can't debug/fix that..
