The > cdrom has worked fine on my old TX motherboard and under 2.2.6 and 2.2.7 I would strongly suggest trying 3.1. You don't need to install it: if you download the boot floppies and try to boot, you should be able to see whether it finds the CD-ROM drive. If not, you should enter a bug report with all details, in particular the chip set of your mother board and the exact description of your CD-ROM.
