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.
