Already reported a similar probelm with the built in CD on my Dell 
Inspiron laptop. I have to do a command (doesn't seem to matter if it is 
'ls' or anything else) right down the /dev IDE bus chain until a reach a 
directory which apparently has now entries. But once the 'ls', or 
whatever, has been performed on this directory the device magically 
appears in it and I can now mount the CD !!!
