it will stay as hdc if your bios is set to 'legacy' or 'combined' mode.
both those options should be unnecessary (the 2nd one is also pointless
as libata isn't a module, and that option is on by default in this kernel).
file a bug, with the contents of your dmesg.

Ah! I don't know if bugzilla is really the right place. Because as you
say it is not compiled as modules, I looked at kernel options. Adding
hdc=noprobe as a boot option on the kernel fixes it.
Should I file something on that?
