If you saw an "error" then your compile woul;d have stopped period, warnings 
on the otherhand do NOT stop a compile, i expect you think a warning is the 
same as an error however this is not the case when compiling a program or a 
kernel.

You have forgotten to include cdrom support as per the CDROM-HOWTO.
Or simply no iso9660 or cdrom support in your kernel or compiled as modules.

I cannot say more as you did not say if the device is a SCSI device IDE or 
whatever.
