usually /dev/cdrom and /dev/dvd are lynks to your real device. If you
are using scsi emulation for you CDR/DVD combo, you device has changed
to /dev/scd0. You should link /dev/cdrom and /dev/dvd to /dev/scd0.

I have:
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root            4 Mar  7 17:40 /dev/cdrom ->
scd0 lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root            4 Mar 23 12:40 /dev/dvd ->
scd0 brw-rw----    1 root     cdrom     11,   0 Mar 14  2002 /dev/scd0
