If you need to make the driver part of the kernel, are you using "make
zImage" or "make bzImage"? The bzImage is a more compressed kernel than
a zImage one is, and lilo 20 can handle at least a 550k kernel. (At
least, that's the biggest one I've done and had work.)
On the CD drive, you should check the permissions. Many distributions
default to mode 660 for the ATAPI block devices (/dev/hd?). As root,
chmod the CD-ROM device name to 666. (I had the same problem under Red
Hat 5.2 using my regular user account.)
