Description of problem:
Automated kickstart installs of RHEL WS3 U4 on new Dell Precision 470
systems with IDE DVD burners generate incorrect symlink
/dev/cdrom --> /dev/hdc
during the install process.  Manually running /usr/sbin/kudzu after
firstboot fixes the symlink to 
/dev/cdrom --> /dev/scd0


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
1.1.22.9

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. perform a kickstarted install of RHEL WS3 U4, allowing automatic reboot
2. Wait for system to come up
3. Type `ls -l /dev/cdrom`
    

Actual Results:  lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root            9 Jan 22
01:35 /dev/cdrom -> /dev/hdc

In this case the CDROM will work fine for burning only if ide-scsi
module is removed, cannot be mounted for reading at all.

Expected Results:  lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root            9 Jan 22
01:35 /dev/cdrom -> /dev/scd0

And when this link is there and ide-scsi loaded, all works fine
(reading and writing).

Additional info:

The systems have 2 SATA drives that show up as sda and sdb.  The IDE
DVD drive is secondary master.

Here's what kudzu's changing when I run it manually.  Output of (diff
/etc/sysconfig/hwconf hwconf.orig)
