How is the CDROM connected?  If it's through a sound card that's
configured as the 3rd IDE channel (hde & hdf), then you either need
to ugrade the kernel or jumper the card's IDE port to 2nd channel
(making the CDROM drive /dev/hdc, if it's the master).  If that's
not the problem, then sorry, no idea.

Hope this helps.
