Do you really want to modify CD ISO image? You can compile kernel with your own drivers and build an RPM file. Once done you simply install the same RPM file on all other servers.

Download kernel and build the kernel as an RPM package:
Code:
wget http://kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/linux-2.6.21.5.tar.bz2
cd linux-2.6.21.5
make help
This is easy to build and distribute.
