Ok,
Let start with the obvious. Would you mind posting a copy of your
"/etc/fstab" file and your "/etc/mtab" file. This will help me determine.
what file system types you currently have and if there might be a
possibility of a conflict.
Furthermore, try to see if you can set the permissions on "/dev/cdrom" and
"/dev/cdrom1", by typing in:
chmod 700 /dev/cdrom1
chmod 700 /dev/cdrom
An I/O error with a wrong FS would definately confirm that you have some
kind of conflict. Anyhow, I'll see what I can do :-)
You might even try running a program called "kudzu" which will detect new
hardware.
