a.) make oldconfig solves most of the problems when updating your kernel
b.) if the DVD drive is IDE, you will most likely need that IDE/ATAPI support, iirc

No i can't 'mount -v /dev/sr0 /mnt/dvdrom' because there is no device /dev/sr0

# mount -v /dev/sr0 /mnt/dvd
mount: Es wurde kein Dateisystemtyp für /dev/sr0 angegeben
      Werde alle Dateisystemtypen probieren, die in /etc/filesystems oder
      /proc/filesystems aufgelistet sind
Versuche #
Versuche #vfat
Versuche msdos
mount: Gerätedatei /dev/sr0 existiert nicht

Sorry for the german output. Finally it says /dev/sr0 is not existing!
