As the subject notes my cdrom and sr0 devices are not installed with
the 2.6.8-1.541 kernel. Reverting back to the 2.6.8-1.535 kernel
brings the devices back. This is on a firewire based cdrom (Sony
VAIO laptop).
The dmesg logs for the two kernel versions are here:
2.6.8-1.535

2.6.8-1.541
http://www.futzin.com/dmesg-541.txt
and while the symptom comes and goes with the version of kernel I
use, I'm not sure which other packages, if any, may actually be
responsible for this (any handy hints?)
After booting, I can modprobe "sr_mod" to get /dev/sr0.
I've put the output from lsmod here:
2.6.8-1.535

2.6.8-1.541
