Yes but after LABEL you have  hdc=ide-scsi....I have to have just ide-scsi..NO 
hdc=.....Others have to remove this syntax altogether
..It is supposedly not needed with the 2.6 kernel but I need ide-scsi although 
a couple of my friends do not.....Give it a try and see what happens....
AS a matter of interest in Debian I do not need it and in Debian  cdrecord 
-scanbus gives a different readout than the Fedora one...
