Is this an external CD drive? You see scsi_mod has taken over and 'sd_mod' instead of 'sr_mod' which is for a CD. What this means according to my humble opinion is that the kernel thinks you external usb CD drive is a SCSI storage device. So do a cat /proc/ide/hdc/* > hdc.info and post the contents of 'hdc.info'. This is similar to other posts having problems with external CD drives. The only thing that I can think of right now is try to prevent 'scsi_mod' from taking over 'hdc' by adding to your '/etc/modprobe.conf'' options scsi_mod ignore=hdc and see what happens. But before you do that, post the results of the cat command for /proc/ide/hdc/ to see what your kernel thinks about 'hdc'.
