Check /etc/lilo.conf. I have a DVD player on hdc and a CD writer on hdd 
and so my lilo.conf (correctly) contains the line
   append = "noapic acpismp=force hdd=ide-scsi"
My guess is that you have a line
   append = "... hdb=ide-scsi"
If so try removing the 'hdb=ide-scsi' and see if you now get a hdb as an 
(E)IDE drive.
If that works, try the following command (as root) before running xine:
/sbin/hdparm -d1 -X34 /dev/hdb
If that all works, add th line above to the end of 
/etc/init.d/boot.local and everything should work smoothly.
