do a dmesg |grep CD  note the device.
check if /dev/cdrom exists and is pointing to the /dev/<something> you
noted previously ?
if not ln -s /dev/<something> /dev/cdrom

check the permission on /dev/<something>, it should be
	brw-rw----    1 root     disk

check if you are in the disk group? grep your login in /etc/group
if not add yourself to the disk group
logout and login in order to take in account the group modification
after that it should work
