I just installed RH7.2 on a box that I previously had run on RH6.2. I just
added 1 HD and did a server install creating new partitions on both HD's.
Now the nic isn't detected and when I try to mount the CDROM I get the
messages
mount: /dev/cdrom is not a valid block device
What did I do wrong?

Just went through this same thing... I configured my NICs by hand (had the
old modules.conf & ifcfg-eth?) What I did was use netconfig to configure my
first NIC and then just copied the newly created ifcfg-eth0 to ifcfg-eth1
and edited that file to the correct settings.
Prior to working on the NIC stuff I had tried to mount the cdrom, which gave
me the same error. I did the NIC stuff and rebooted a few times and then
when I went back to mounting the cdrom, it worked... prior to the updating
of the system. So I'm not sure what caused it...
The steps to getting my cards up was:
1. edited /etc/modules.conf and added alias for both my cards
2. modprobe the proper driver... In my case the 3c509
3. used netconfig and filled in the proper values. This created
ifcfg-eth0 in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts
4. copied ifcfg-eth0 to ifcfg-eth1 in that same directory and edited it
with the proper values
5. ran system network restart
6. tested connectivity was good
