I assume you just want to read a CD in the drive.  You cannot write to 
a mounted CD (Packet writing software does not yet exist for Linux).  

If the CD is good (Try it in the CDROM drive) then you probably have a 
configuration problem.  Check what /dev/cdrom2 points at.  It should be 
/dev/scd0 (Even for an IDE CD writer).  Make sure the ide-scsi and the 
sr_mod modules are loaded.  

Hope this helps.
