Hello Otto,
I don't know how much this will help, but these are the exact steps I
used to get my IDE CDRW working in debian... maybe you can run down
these step again and see whether you missed anything?
1) Add SCSI Emulation support by running 'modconf' and selecting the
'ide-scsi' module
2) Add 'append="hdc=ide-scsi"' to the correct kernel image section
under the Kernel Command line options in lilo.conf
e.g. image=/vmlinuz
label=Linux
read-only
append="hdc=ide-scsi"
3) Run 'lilo' to verify lilo.conf settings and to effect changes
4) Reboot and verify that /dev/scd0 can be mounted.
5) Change fstab to mount /dev/scd0 instead of the typical mount point
for the CDRW
