Just a shot in the dark here, but is there a symlink /dev/cdrom pointing to
/dev/sr0 ? My cdr is scd0 and everyone was looking for /dev/cdrom, which
didn't exist. course i never had a lock-up over that, but kde's cd player
crashed and burned over it every time.

Are you using the devfs=nomount option in /etc/lilo.conf ? Maybe (total
guess) devfs is part of the problem?

just my 2.3 yen, hope its helpful.
