Have you checked the permissions on the CD-ROM device?  I've had similar
problems before and the vast majority of the time it's a permissions
issue.  If you don't have read/write permission (actually, read should
be sufficient, but you can't write to it anyway, although it might be
necessary for certain things, I don't know) on the device (not
/dev/cdrom, but whatever it points to), "chown root.cdrom /dev/hdc;
chmod 660 /dev/hdc" and then add yourself to the cdrom group.  If you
don't have a cdrom group, create one first.
