I'm guessing by your comments that it's an IDE CD-RW drive. In addition
to adding the kernel options you mention, you have to tell the kernel
that you want it to load the drive as a SCSI device (emulated) rather
than the default IDE ATAPI device. If the drive is showing up as
/dev/hd_ than this is your problem. To do this, you need to add:
append="hd_=scsi"
(replace the _ with the drive letter the drive shows up as, probably hdb
or hdd if it's a slave)
to /etc/lilo.conf, run '/sbin/lilo' and reboot. You should see lines
like this:
ide-cd: passing drive hdb to ide-scsi emulation.
sr0: scsi3-mmc drive: 40x/40x writer cd/rw xa/form2 cdda tray
in dmesg after booting.
