Hi,
One question: you say you copied the file to a CD. Now, is it the case that's what you've literally done - i.e. the CD had a filesystem on it already, and you copied the .iso file on to that filesystem such that it shows up in a file manager in the root of the CD - or did you burn that .iso directly on to the CD using an appropriate tool ?
To create a bootable CD, you have to actually use something like dd or some other utility that can write out the .iso file straight on to the physical device, so that the blank CD/DVD/USB/whatever actually gets entirely overwritten block-for-block with the contents of the .iso file, thus becoming bootable media.
If you could just clear that up, then we can take things from there.

KSC(1) User Commands KSC(1)
NAME
ksc - Linux kernel module source checker
SYNOPSIS
ksc [ -d | --directory ] DIRECTORY
ksc [ -k | --ko ] FILE
OPTIONS
KSC accepts command-line arguments, and has both a long and short form usage. You can use either style or combine them to specify
options. When the tool is run with kernel module sources it checks for all four architectures, and when run with binary kernel modules, it
checks for the specific architecture for which the binary was built.
Valid RHEL whitelist releases are rhel6.0, rhel6.1, rhel6.2, rhel6.3, rhel6.4
-h, --help
show this help message and exit
-c CONFIG, --config=CONFIG
path to the local ksc.conf file. If not specified the tool tries to read from ~/ksc.conf and if that is also not found then from
/etc/ksc.conf
-d DIRECTORY, --directory=DIRECTORY
path to the directory
-i, --internal
to create text files to be used internally.
-k KO, --ko=KO
path to the ko file. You should either use -d or -k to run the KSC tool, but not both. If both -d and -k option is used at the
same time then only -d is used and the -k option is discarded.
-n RELEASENAME, --name=RELEASENAME
Red Hat release against which the bug is to be filed. Default value is 6.5
-p PREVIOUS, --previous=PREVIOUS
path to the previous resultset file and submit it as a bug to Red Hat Bugzilla.
-r RELEASE, --release=RELEASE
RHEL whitelist release used for comparison
-s, --submit
Submits the report to the Red Hat bugzilla (https://bugzilla.redhat.com). The credentials need to be in the /etc/ksc.conf file. The
tool will prompt for bugzilla password.
The configuration file looks like below:
[bugzilla]
user=user@redhat.com
partner=partner-name
partnergroup=partner-group
server=https://bugzilla.redhat.com/xmlrpc.cgi
-v, --version
Prints KSC version number
