I am not a RHEL user but in LInux you do not mount a device , you mount a file system

Hi and welcome to LQ.

Are you trying to access discs on the drive? If so, you need to use mount in conjunction with the filesystem on the discs e.g.
Code:
mount -t iso9660 /dev/sdX /media/mountpoint

If you are using RHEL5 and a member of cdrom group, you can inset/eject dvd like you do in most *Winblowz* systems.
