Do you really need scsi emulation anymore?  That could be the source of
your error. That may be the answer to this statement of yours, "When I
delete the hdc=scsi it works."  The other reason for the error is that
your CD drive may not be on /dev/hdc in the Anaconda runtime
environment.  Remember that it is a minimal Linux environment.  You may
have other temporary devices or special devices without drivers throwing
off your device count.  Start the installer without a kickstart file.
Use the ALT F1, F2, F3, and F4 keys to take a look around.  Then tune
your install script for the right /dev/hdx.
