Oddly enough, my cd drive will not open. Just yesterday I installed

I've tried umount /cdrom but get an error message
umount: /cdrom: not a file system root directory
Doesn't make any sense. I'm gonna shut down the machine and check
the cables, just in case it came loose.

Well, after reseating the cables for the cd drive, and rebooting
twice, the drive finally opens. During bootup the system recognizes
the drive correctly and assigns it to acd0. But, the orange activity
light stays on continually (not flashing, just steady on) and
everything is running very slow now. It's definately related to the
cd drive, but what do I look for?
Maybe the drive is bad? Are you able to try a different drive?

It finally did - after about 5 minutes of the system being apparently
locked up, then a few more minutes of high activity slowing down the
'puter. Then it finally started to respond properly and now works fine.
