There is a serious bug in redhat 7.2 about the cdroms. Exspecially if u got 2 of them. Edit the rc.sysinit and comment out the lines where the cdrom and ide-cd is.Add the third line in that subroutine where it says "ide-scsi" to the bottom of rc.sysinit.Reboot after this and u will have your cdrom as an ide-scsi emulator disk which will work.
