It is a bug.
Did you try 'depmod -ae' as root?
See:
http://www.redhat.com/support/resources/gotchas/7.2/

Quote from that page:
"We have found an installer related bug in some hardware set-ups. After an 
installation of 7.2 or upgrade of an existing system, these units report 
"/dev/cdrom not a valid block device" causing the mount to fail and a 
possible system crash. Running the command as root "depmod -ae" should 
solve this issue. Additionally, upgrading to the latest kernel errata 
will solve this issue."
