It sounds like you've got IDE controller support (which tells you about what controller channels and drives are detected, but you haven't loaded ide-cd or ide-scsi as a module. You'll also need iso9660 filesystem support (I think its called isofs) Good luck! (I'm trying to compile a 2.4.21 for my new P166 laptop, and I can't get PCMCIA working :-\ So I know how it feels. Mind you - when I changed my desktop to 2.5.70, it took three days to get virtual consoles working!)
