redhat kernels

On: Guessing Linux 2.6.0 Release Date

Ever since I've been using the kernels for RH 9, I've found I can't use my cd-rom drive because I get messages like "hdc: lost interrupt" after which the system locks up. This was no the case when I was using the 2.4.20 kernel (linus' tree). I have a hunch it's to do with IRQ's but have not the further technical knowledge to diagnose. Has anyone else had similar probs? Anyone know what I should do about it? (see below)

Thanks to any help,
