    That's an old kernel. You might want to get a newer one and other security
    fixes for Red Hat Linux 9 from http://www.fedoralegacy.org

    Most likely you don't need a driver. You didn't say what problems
    you've encountered. Probably you just don't have a cable between
    your CD drive and your soundcard/chipset. Newer audio players
    don't need a cable since they read Audio CDs digitally, e.g.
    XMMS >= 1.2.8 comes with a plugin that can be configured
    appropriately. For Red Hat Linux 9 you could try the xmms-cdread
    add-on http://download.fedora.us/fedora/redhat/9/i386/RPMS.testing/
    but it gives varying results for users (hence "testing").

    Better get a cable for the beginning.
