I am using the same kernel with cdrom without troble. You did not tell us
how you tried to mount. The correct line should be like:
        mount -rt iso9660 /dev/sr0 /cdrom
assuming that you have an empty directory called 'cdrom' in the root.
You also should 'mknod' the device sr0 in /dev. It should look like this:
        brw-r--r-- 1 root root 11, 0 Dec 23 18:45 /dev/sr0
Hopefully you also compiled the ISO-9660 fs support into the kernel.
