This looks like an eigenvalue-eigenfunction problem, but those usually have boundary conditions imposed on them.
In any case, I'm assuming lambda to be a positive real number, in which case you solve this the same as any other 2nd order differential equation with constant coefficients:
Solve for r, then use the proper form for the solution.
