- Check what /dev/cdrom actually is. It is most probably a link to the actual special device, something such as /dev/scd0 /dev/hdc or /dev/sr0 - If /dev/cdrom links nowhere, "dmesg | grep CD" will tell you what it should be linked to. Remove /dev/cdrom and "ln -s /dev/hdc /dev/cdrom" - Check that the correct permissions are set on the device : on my laptop it looks like "brw-r--r--"
