here ya go............LOL
[root@localhost /root]# mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom
mount: the kernel does not recognize /dev/cdrom as a block device
(maybe `insmod driver'?)

[root@localhost /root]# mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom
/dev/cdrom: Input/output error
mount: block device /dev/cdrom is write-protected, mounting read-only
mount: No medium found
that was after the modprobe ide-scsi
and the drive is again locked and running....at this point I have to
completely power down and do a cold boot or the cdrw will not be recognized
by the bios on a warm boot...and yes there is a cdrom in the drive.
