Try loading these modules in this order: insmod parport insmod paride insmod epat insmod pcd insmod pg I run RHL62 and the generic kernel handles running my HP CDW7200e just fine. You can check the status of the drive using cdrecord -scanbus. To mount the cd in the drive type mount /dev/pcd0 <mount>.
