I have essentially had this same problem from day one in my S900 whenever I install a new system. I have never been able to get Apple's CDROM extension to recognize media. What I have always had to do is reinstall the FWB CDROM Toolkit that came on the original system.
What I suggest - for an experiment at least - is to find the CDROM Toolkit extension from your old system; put it into the extensions folder of your OS 9.1 System Folder; then use Extensions Manager to turn off Apple's CDROM driver. Then reboot and see if your media gets recognized. Good luck.
