This error is always there though it is untidy things do generally work.

So the cdrom is hda?
Stop the kernel from even probing this device by editing the linux kernel
boot options to include

All that matters with this kernel is getting to box to install, after the
machine has installed then you will be running the offical redhat kernel,
ie a botch for the install is acceptable.
