Same thing happened to me.
/dev/cdrom is wrong. Mine was /dev/hdc with the cdrom being in the first
place of the secondary IDE.
hda is the first drive on the primary
hdb is the second on the primary
hdc is the first on the secondary
hdd is the the second on the secondary

run the command "depmod -ae && insmod ide-cd" or
upg

/dev/cdrom is just a symlink to your actual device (see below). Try
try using /dev/hdc instead of /dev/cdrom
also look at dmesg|grep CD
and see what it says
