Desktop System Setup with Debian GNU/Linux 3.1 'Sarge' located at
http://thegoldenear.org/toolbox/unices/desktop-system-setup-debian-sarge.html#installation
mentions this problem abd suggests work around.
(In Installation section):
When asked during the installation if you want 'discover' to
manage /media/cdrom0, choose 'no' otherwise gnome-volume-manager won't
be able to auto-mount discs for you when inserted and logged in as a
normal user. (this may now be fixed).
In troubleshooting section.
gnome-volume-manager won't be able to auto-mount discs when inserted if
discover/discover1 is managing /media/cdrom0 because that directory will
get removed by discover/discover1. To fix this, either choose not to
have discover/discover1 do this at installation (see note in the
'Installation' section; or uninstall discover/discover1 (but we don't
yet know of other ramifications of doing this); or there should be a way
of disabling this aspect of discover/discover1 once its installed, but
we don't know of it yet)
I wonder if one should simple reconfigure discover to stop it from
removing CDROM.
sudo dpkg-reconfigure discover1
