/dev/cdrom is not a valid block device`
note I'm having the same issue
it says
lrwxrwxrwx for access 1 root root 3 (date) /dev/cdrom -> hdc
I had a harddrive hooked up to the same place previously could this be
the reason it isn't mounting?

It should work. What is /dev/cdrom? ('ls -l /dev/cdrom') Where on
the ide buses is it? What kernel version are you running?
