Hi Hung-Ta --

The sbpcd driver does support the CR-562 CDROM.  You may want to read more
about it thought in the file Documentation/cdrom/sbpcd which comes with
the kernel sources.

What command do you use to mount the drive?  And what block devices appear
when you execute the command 'cat /proc/devices'?
The document I mentioned above suggests:
              mkdir /CD
and 
              mount -rt iso9660 /dev/sbpcd /CD
or
              mount -rt iso9660 -o block=2048 /dev/sbpcd /CD
and see the contents of your CD in the /CD directory.

Good luck,
