Hal is another issue with Cedega.
Its perfectly OK with Hal if you go ahead and put a 'fixed' entry in 
/etc/fstab for the CDROM.  That way cedega has a much easier time using 
it, ejecting during installs, etc.

This is what I used to good effect:

/dev/hdc               /media/cdrom            auto    
defaults,user,managed,ro 0 0


That way both hal and cedega were happy.

Put in a CD, type: mount /media/cdrom
or Use one of the GUI mount tools.

As for kernel tuning:

I have these in /etc/sysctl.conf

# Cedega Gaming
kernel.exec-shield = 0
vm.legacy_va_layout = 1
