Help!!

I used to be able to read my CD-ROM drive.  Suddenly (for no reason I
can fathom), I am getting the following output:

----------------------------------------------------------------
# cat /etc/fstab
/dev/hda4        swap         swap        defaults          1   1
/dev/hda3        /            ext2        defaults          1   1
/dev/hda1        /dosc        vfat        defaults          1   1
/dev/hda5        /dosd        vfat        defaults          1   1
/dev/hdb4        /zip         vfat        defaults,noauto   1   1
/dev/hdc1        /cdrom       iso9660     defaults,noauto,ro   1   1
none             /proc        proc        defaults          1   1
# mount /cdrom
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hdc1,
       or too many mounted file systems
       (aren't you trying to mount an extended partition,
       instead of some logical partition inside?)

#
----------------------------------------------------------------

I have kernel 2.0.31 (it also fails on 2.0.30), and yes I _do_ a have
CD in the drive.  Also, the ZIP drive (/dev/hdb4) mounts fine before
or after I attempt to mount the CD-ROM.

Anyone know what this is about?


Thanks in advance,
