Enabling modules is a lot more complicated than just turning them on. 
You have to build the kernel and modules, and install them in the right 
place.

See one of the many howto's on building kernels.

However, I reckon you will just have to load the appropriate modules 
that come with the RH kernel.   Presuming you have an IDE CD burner, you 
need to do the following as root:

modprobe ide-scsi
modprobe sg


That should load the stuff you need.  If you get error messages from 
these commands, then you need to start playing with building a new 
kernel with these modules available.
