/media/cdrom0 disappears



Hi,
My /media/cdrom0 disappears by itself. 
I run testing on a Dell Inspiron 8600 with a DVD-RW
drive in a 
removable bay. Every time I reboot it looks like:

 nils:/# ls -l /media/
 totalt 0
 lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root 6 2004-12-12 23:51 cdrom ->
cdrom0
 nils:/#

and I can't use my CD/DVD drive.
I then do (as root):

 nils:/# mkdir /media/cdrom0
 nils:/# ls -l /media/
 totalt 4
 lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root    6 2004-12-12 23:51 cdrom
-> cdrom0
 drwxr-xr-x  2 root root 4096 2005-08-26 11:52 cdrom0

and now I can use my CD/DVD.

The disappearing didn't happen from the beginning, I
think it 
started when I once unplugged the DVD-drive - I just
yanked it 
out of the bay while the computer was running.

Any suggestions on a permanent cure? Or what data
should I supply 
for further debugging? 

Best Regards
/Gerhard
