/dev/cdrom is just a symlink to your actual cdrom. Your CDrom might be a different
device (hd[a-d]). Look at your boot messages for which device the CDROM is being
detected as, then just remove the old symlink and link it to the new device. (use
dmesg for this).
#rm -f /dev/cdrom
#ln -s /dev/hd? /dev/cdrom
where ? = drive that CD is being detected as.
