Your kernel options look OK (the same as mine) so I think we can rule 
that out.  I have the CDROM in my machine as the slave device on my first 
IDE controller because I couldn't get it to work as the master on the 
second controller.  I do remember having to make the wcd0c device again 
before it would work for me though.

i.e. 	cd /dev
	sh MAKEDEV wcd0

after that it all worked.

cheers,
Carey
