No. This is a problem. bread() is failing preventing the super block from being propagated up to the iso9660 file system. I do not know all the details here, but from practical experience either the burn failed or using /dev/hdc isn't going to work for you. Can you read _any_ iso9660 file system using /dev/hdc?
If the burn is ok, you might try using the scsi emulation by booting with append="hdc=ide-scsi" (or maybe just hdc=ide-scsi). I've had one system where making the switch to /dev/scd0 in this way worked wonders.
I am by no means an expert on what is going on in the linux kernel for /dev/hdc vis-a-vis the scsi emulation layer, but I get the impression that both /dev/hdc and the scsi emulation have their problems. Joerg is probably the best person to ask, but I think he's washed his hands of it all.
