I think that this is your problem, if you use the auto-mounter then you
need to tell freevo where the CD/DVD drive is, at least with
"udf,iso9660" as freevo is looking for " iso9660 " in /etc/fstab.
So the easiest way is to use the ROM_DRIVES setting such as:
ROM_DRIVES = [ ('/media/cdrom0', '/dev/hdc', 'DVD') ]
The ROM_DRIVES_AUTOFS setting tells freevo not to mount or umount the
drive as this is handled by the auto-mounter.
What you need to check is that the auto-mounter is actually using
/media/cdrom0 and not another mount point.

It is possible the Gladiator has a copy protection system that stops it
being correctly detected so try another disk.
Attached is a patch that does a bit more logging of the ROM-drive detection.
