Are you running squeeze, wheehy, sid?
How many optical devices do you have, two (CD → sr1 and DVD → sr0)? You
can run "dmesg | grep sr" and send the output.

You can try with:
/dev/cdrom /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto 0 0
/dev/dvd /media/dvd0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto 0 0
Note that "/dev/cdrom" and "/dev/dvd" are the names udev gives to your
devices based on the content of "/etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-
cdrom.rules" file.
