sounds like one more module/kernel option is not defined
- scsi section and
- ata section
what is your .config file for your 2.4.22 kernel ?
- check for each and every module and devices listed
what is the contents your lilo.conf or grub/menu.lst file
with lilo
append="hdc=ide-scsi"
with grub, you have to have these cdrom options listed
hdc=ide-scsi hdclun=0
you might have problems if you swap a hd instead
instead of cdrw into /dev/hdc ( its not interchangeable )
