I assume you are not using DevFS right?

And I hope the `ln -s /dev/hdc /dec/cdrom` and "dev/cdrom /cdrom
iso9660 defaults,ro,user,noauto 0 0 " were  typos .

First try using a different CD in your CD drive, and you can just put
"/dev/hdc    /cdrom   iso9660 defaults,ro,user,noauto 0 0" in fstab

Also, if that doesn't help, do you use custon-built / configured kernel?
