Okay, if the CD is really the master drive on the first cable, it is hda.
I would stop using ide-scsi for CD access, while it worked the last time I
tried it for burning, there's no joy to it and it may introduce other
problems.

After taking out the ide-scsi, you can try to read the drive directly,
using the appropriate device name. Without trying it with FC3 and paranoia
I can't say if that's /dev/hda or /dev/sg0, or something else. I have FC1
on my media machine, so different conditions apply.
