CDROM confusion

I am going nuts trying to figure out how to get kudzu to stop trying to 
mount "extra" cdrom drives.  I have two drives, a cdrw on hdc and a dvd 
player on hdd.  I have added hdc=ide-scsi hdd=ide-scsi to my kernel line 
in grub.conf.  I have created links /dev/cdrom linked to /dev/scd0 and 
/dev/cdrom1 linked to /dev/scd1.

I have changed /etc/fstab to read

/dev/cdrom              /mnt/cdrom              udf,iso9660 
noauto,user,ro 0 0
/dev/cdrom1             /mnt/cdrom1             udf,iso9660 
noauto,user,ro 0 0

trying not to use kudzu for the cdrom drives.

When I reboot, kudzu insists on creating new links /dev/cdrom2 to 
/dev/hdc and /dev/cdrom3 to /dev/hdd, and adding lines as follows to 
/etc/fstab.

/dev/cdrom2             /mnt/cdrom2             udf,iso9660 
noauto,owner,kudzu,ro 0 0
/dev/cdrom3             /mnt/cdrom3             udf,iso9660 
noauto,owner,kudzu,ro 0 0

This all worked fine when I set it up this way in RHL8.0 and RHL9.

How can I resolve this?

Thanks in advance.
