The problem is that ide-cd is claiming the CD-ROM drive and CD-Writer.
For example, on my machine, without the ide-cd ignore=hdc line, I get
the following in dmesg:
hdc: attached ide-cdrom driver.
hdc: ATAPI 32X CD-ROM CD-R/RW drive, 2048kB Cache, DMA
hdd: attached ide-cdrom driver.
hdd: ATAPI 40X DVD-ROM drive, 256kB Cache, UDMA(33)
as opposed to
ide-cd: ignoring drive hdc
hdd: attached ide-cdrom driver.
hdd: ATAPI 40X DVD-ROM drive, 256kB Cache, UDMA(33)
when I do have the ignore line.
The floppy disk may be a factor. I'm not sure. I don't boot off
floppy disk and I don't use LILO (switched to GRUB). Check out
dmesg. You should have a line similar to
Kernel command line: root=/dev/hde5 ro
Which will tell you what parameters are being passed to the kernel. If
all that append guff doesn't come up here, edit the boot prompt by
hand, i.e. when the lilo boot screen appears
boot: linux
append the append line from lilo.conf, thus:
boot: linux hdc=ide-scsi ide-cd ignore=hdc <enter>
