here is the ls -l /dev/cdrom
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 8 Nov 21 04:04 /dev/cdrom---> /dev/hda
/dev/hda _normally_ is a hard disk. If that is indeed so on your machine, this could be the problem. The exact configuration can be known by doing a "dmesg | less". On my machine this shows (among many other things):
hda: ST340016A, ATA DISK drive hdc: ST320413A, ATA DISK drive hdd: SAMSUNG CD-ROM SC-152A, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive
so hda is a hard disk and the CD-ROM deive is hdd. To change the link for /dev/cdrom, login as root then
cd /dev ; ln -sf /dev/hdd /dev/cdrom
assuming the CD-ROM drive is hdd.
