Is your cdrom drive on primary or secondary controller, and is it master 
of slave?  A secondary master would be /dev/hdc (if IDE).  You can also 
make a symlink from cdrom to the actual device in /dev.

In my devs directory if I type   'ls -l cdrom' I see:

lrwxrwxrwx  1 root   root    3 Jan 23 19:40 cdrom - > hdc

I have an actual /dev/hdc.  hdb would be primary slave, hdd secondary 
slave.  dmesg|less will tell you where the CDROM drive is.


Please turn off the HTML in your email program, it is sending a second 
copy of the same message but with tags added.
