I'm still not clear on the problem. The kernel package that the installer 
loaded is the stock Red Hat kernel, and should have the needed modules 
included in /lib/modules/{version}/kernel/drivers/cdrom/
You should be able to load the module in the same manner as you did 
during the install. If that works, an entry in /etc/modules.conf should 
automate it from that point on.

Different topic:

When you install using miniconda, or anaconda for that matter, do you 
need to provide the IO args for the sbpcd module, or does it find the cd 
on it's own?
