Change the /mnt/cdrom back to the style of Mandrake 6.x and
previous: 
/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom auto user,noauto,nosuid,exec,nodev,ro 0 0

the above is a cut/paste from my fstab. HOwever, it should be pretty
generic, assuming you HAVE a /dev/cdrom. Otherwise you may need to
change /dev/cdrom to /dev/hdx to refer to the IDE device (assuming
it's IDE <G>)
