What do you mean by debian can't find my cdrom?
What are you trying to do? Play music? Read a data cd?

If your kernel reports a cdrom drive on /dev/hdc during boot, then it has
found the drive and it is working correctly. The rest is just software
configuration.
One thing that might be a problem is, that you don't have userlevel access to
the cdrom drive.
try # ls -l /dev/hdc
this should show something like:
brw-rw-rw- 1 root disk 22, 0 Mar 14 2002 /dev/hdc
^^^
Check these
This can be changed by issuing
# chmod 666 /dev/hdc

All needed modules for ordinary cd drives are in the kernel and you don't need
to do anything further.
