I installed that model drive last week, on a system running rh7.2
I didn't need to play with kernel modules at all. The only thing i did was
insert the 'append=' line into /etc/lilo.conf and then run 'lilo' to update
the boot loader as Ryurick has already mentioned.
My cdwriter is connected as a slave on the secondary ide.
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.7-10
label=linux
read-only
root=/dev/hda3
append="hdd=ide-scsi"
