ext3 is default and I think reiserfs is there as well. I see it in my
kernel tree. I see both as modules on my 3.0 box running 2.4.x kernel and
on my 3.1 box running 2.6.x kernel.
I don't see modules for either with the default 2.4.x kernel for 3.0, but
I think that kernel ( the 'bf' kernel ) has both modules builtin.
I believe reiserfs has changed in a way that is not backwards compatable
from 2.6 to 2.4. Dunno what the procedure for dealing with that is.
You shouldn't need to recompile the kernel to run ext3 on debian and I
doubt you need to for reiserfs.

That says, to me, that it isn't seeing the CD-ROM at all. Is this from a
running system?

Get one of the kernel-source packages, such as:
kernel-source-2.4.26 - Linux kernel source for version 2.4.26 with Debian
patches
kernel-source-2.6.9 - Linux kernel source for version 2.6.9 with Debian
patches

Get the kernel-package package.
kernel-package - A utility for building Linux kernel related Debian
packages.
