Could you suply a little more information? Is this an IDE or SCSI
interface CD-RW? Did it replace a CD-ROM, or do you now have both?
>From what you did tell us, it sounds like the /dev/cdrom symlink is
pointing to the wrong place, or you don't have a module loaded that you
need for your drive. You could also send the output of
"ls -al /dev/cdrom" and "cat /etc/fstab".
