could be a few things.

1. is this a normal ATAPI cdrom or a scsi?

2. check out 
		ls -l /dev/cdrom
   and make sure it points to something sensible (i'm assuming you know how
   hard drives are named: hda, hdb, etc).

3. just out of curiosity, look at the output of
		grep /etc/fstab | grep cdrom

just some ideas...
