Ray, that was it exactly. I did indeed somehow manage to
leave out support for my CD-ROM drive during the creation of
the kernel configuration file. I guess this just goes to
show that we have to be very careful when doing that. The
option I think I left out by mistake was ``ATA/IDE/MFM/RLL
support ---> IDE, ATA and ATAPI Block devices ---> Include
IDE/ATAPI CDROM support''.
Anyway, I recompiled again, making doubly sure that
everything was in order this time. I had previously gone to
the CDROM-HOWTO, as Richard suggested, and decided that
recompilation was the first thing to do.
Barring a few hitches, I got the new kernel working, and now
I've got CD-ROM support as well. Thanks, everybody!
