Disk drive tries to open the wrong device?

It seems like the disk drive is trying to open the wrong device.

1. Check in devices tree that device for the Disk Drive is set to /dev/hdc
2. Check using dmesg | grep hdc that the DVD drive is present
3. Look in /var/log/pluto/26_Disk_Drive.log and see the following:

Error: couldn't open /dev/hda.

Funnily enough, if I move the IDE cable so that the disk is /dev/hda, then I get an error in the Disk Drive log saying /dev/hdc can't be opened!

I must be doing something really stupid here. Can anyone suggest what?

Thanks,

Chris
