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!)
