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!
