Yes.  

grep -i iso9660 /usr/src/linux/.config

If the result is CONFIG_ISO9660_FS=n you forgot to enable the iso6990
filesystem when you compiled the kernel.

If the result is CONFIG_ISO9660_FS=m then the module wasn't loaded.

If the result is CONFIG_ISO9660_FS=y then it may be that you not
configured something else correctly, in the kernel, like NLS.

If all else fails
rgrep -r  X /usr/src/linux/Doc*/* |less
(where X could be 'iso9660', 'cdrom', 'nls', etc.)
will usually give you enough things to help you find the problem
