Don't worry, it looks for a CD by looking in all the places you can find
one (yes, it's very waistful). One place is /dev/hdc, and /dev/hdd, block
major 22 is ide1 (second ide adapter), and cause kerneld to attempt to
load a module for /dev/hd[cd]*

You can either edit /etc/rc.d/rc.cdrom, and make it probe only where the
CD really is (assuming you have one), or you can edit /etc/conf.modules
(or /etc/modules.conf, which ever you have), and add "alias block-major-22
off" (one line).
