I can't even manually make the link cause there's no
more /dev/hdc or /dev/hdd under $ls /dev. Nor do these
devices appear in dmesg.

Maybe you didn't built your kernel with IDE support. This might be the case if you use SATA harddisks. Try this command:

zgrep IDE= /proc/config.gz;zgrep -w BLK_DEV_IDE= /proc/config.gz;zgrep BLK_DEV_IDECD= /proc/config.gz

and post the output.
