This is not required, and I would not suggest doing it. All this is
doing is attempting to load a bunch of modules, and if you have compiled
them into the kernel (as you said you did above) then this is not
necessary. If the CDRW doesn't work unless you run this, it means you
have one or more of the above drivers compiled as modules, not into the
kernel.
With an out of the box RH system, only the ide-scsi module needs to be
loaded as a module. And that can be loaded with the single command
"insmod ide-scsi", rather than the entire script, or with an entry in
conf.modules (at least with RH 6.1).
