Do you have the sr_mod module compiled and loaded, too?  You need that to read
SCSI CD-roms.

Once you've done a `modprobe sr_mod', this should no longer happen.

hdc is the IDE device.  The kernel is suggesting that if you're using ide-scsi,
then you don't want to try to read this device (whatever it is) through the IDE
device.  And it's suggesting sr0/sda instead of scd because it doesn't know
it's meant to be a CD-rom.
