You likely don't have the support built into your kernel. Check your .config to see if you have CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDECD enabled. I would recommend building it into the kernel if you don't have it (alternatively you can build as a module and load on boot).
Code:

Device Drivers  --->
    <*> ATA/ATAPI/MFM/RLL support  --->
         <*>     Include IDE/ATAPI CDROM support
