list of modules look good from eyeball view

you might want to add "hdclun=0"  after hdc=ide-scsi

if your dvd writer is on /dev/hdc
	try using /dev/hdc instead of /dev/scd0

if it works .. link /dev/sg0 to  /dev/hdc and fix fstab 

also stick a boot (real) cdrom into the dvd drive, and see if it boots the
cdrom to eliminate any hardware/bios/cable issues
