It sounds like the Linux kernel cannot see /dev/hdc ("no medium found"),
which is probably a hardware error.
It does look like your bootable volume is being read correctly, as the
Linux kernel got loaded off it. (The messages you quote are generated
by the Linux initialization scripts, and are run under your kernel.)
I would boot into your limited commandline, and then use the various
utilities to poke at hdc to determine what is happening. The first step
would be "fdisk -l /dev/hdc" to see if you can read the partition table.
But I would try to get advice from someone who knows about the hardware
in question.
