I have a Sony CRX 100E. You shouldn't need to recompile the kernel.
You do need to make your system think the drive is a scsi device. I have
an entry like this in LILO:
# LILO configuration file
# generated by 'liloconfig'
#
# Start LILO global section
append="hdd=ide-scsi"
I don't have a DVD drive, but I'm assuming it needs the same thing.
