I really can't tell, but this fstab doesn't seem too strange.
$ cat /etc/fstab
LABEL=/                 /                       ext3    defaults       
1 1
LABEL=/boot     /boot           ext3    defaults        1 2
none            /dev/pts        devpts  gid=5,mode=620  0 0
none            /proc           proc    defaults        0 0
none            /dev/shm        tmpfs   defaults        0 0
/dev/hda5       swap            swap    defaults        0 0
none            /var/lib/jack/tmp  tmpfs   defaults         0 0
/dev/cdrom      /mnt/cdrom       udf,iso9660 noauto,owner,kudzu,ro 0 0

The thing that seems a bit strange is>
#ls -al /dev/cdrom
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root root 8 Nov 10 00:06 /dev/cdrom -> /dev/hdc

What does this mean?

I'm glad your ohci problem disappeared, maybe I'll be so lucky, but then
again, I work with video and I have a firewire hd I need to work with,
so I'd like to get this worked out.

The reason that I brought all of this up together is that I'd like to
figure out if the problems are at all related.

I'm using a recent Sony Vaio portable with a CD-RW drive.
