It's not a burnt media issue as the drive reads RedHat 7.2 burnt on to the 
same brand of media fine. It even reads the 1st CD in the 7.3 set fine. Boots 
up and installs away - until prompted for the 2nd CD. 

The problem seems to be driver related. That's what I think going by the 
message about being unable to load the ide-cd module into the kernel.
