If you installed the kernel that came with RedHat 6.0 it supports modules
already.  I'd guess that you need to set your scsi_hostadapter eg
alias scsi_hostadapter aic7xxx

in /etc/conf.modules on my system

Then run depmod -a
That will rebuild the modules dependencies

Then you should be able to mount /mnt/cdrom2 (assuming the symlinks survived
the upgrade).
