That means they have not been compiled as modules, so hopefully they are 
compiled into the kernel (not "loaded by the kernel"). When you are 
doing the kernel configuration before compiling (hopefully you are using 
xconfig), clicking "y" compiles the option into the kernel, and "m" 
compiles it into a separate file, which is a loadable kernel module.

In the section labeled "ATA/IDE/MFM/RLL support", click on "IDE, ATA and 
ATAPI Block devices". In the next window, you should turn OFF (select 
'n') "Include IDE/ATAPI CDROM support" (the ide-cd driver), and turn ON, 
either as a module or compiled into the kernel, the "SCSI emulation 
support" (the ide-scsi driver).

In the section labeled "SCSI support", turn on "SCSI support" (the scsi 
driver), "SCSI CD-ROM support" (the sr driver), and "SCSI generic 
support" (the sg driver).

What we are looking for, is a message in /var/log/dmesg that looks like:

   Attached scsi CD-ROM sr0 at scsi0, channel 0, id 0, lun 0
   sr0: scsi3-mmc drive: 32x/32x writer cd/rw xa/form2 cdda tray
   Uniform CD-ROM driver Revision: 3.12

That's a good one :-)
