Hi Al,

I had exactly the same problem as you and finally found that the
problem was that I didn't have an entry for /dev/cdrom in my
/etc/fstab file. Once I added a line like this :

/dev/cdrom              /mnt/cdrom      auto            noauto,ro,user
         0 0

everything worked! Might not be the cause of your problem, but its worth a look.
