I've been trying to use the Transgaming version of wine on FC6 x86_64 at
home recently. Some games do play flawlessly, but I am running into a
baffling issue trying to install others.
For Diablo 2, the installer will run and proceed normally until I need
to swap out disks and it attempts to pull data off of the 'play disk.'
The installer can 'see' the CD in the drive if I browse to it withing
the wine session, so the disk is definitely present.

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
