Yes, I've looked into this.
I'm not sure on a good solution, however. 
Stock Red Hat kernels no longer provide modules for these old CDROM 
drives.
We could provide a kernel containing them, or perhaps we could just 
provide the necessary modules on the web site.

Getting the modules built is as simple as turning on the correct options 
during the kernel configuration, namely:
CONFIG_CD_NO_IDESCSI=y
Then configure the individual options as modules.

Thoughts?
