I've had problems with CD drives and ide-scsi - one would not mount CDs
unless dma was turned off and my burner eats a lot of cpu unless dma is
turned on.

I get the same errors. I think it's looking for a harddrive but
obviously they're not.

Well I guess I'd try `hdparm -u0 -d1 /dev/hdc` but I'm not too
optimistic at this point. :) Sorry I couldn't help. If you have
another OS on this machine, does the drive rip and burn ok there? If
not, I would probably start looking at the ide cable and then the drive
and maybe try swapping stuff out.
