I encountered this the day after I upgraded to 3.0.  If you recall,
there was a script that you had to run when you got the 3rd Party ROM
--it altered /usr/filesystems/CDROM.fs and is bogus to 3.0 i.e., it
makes 3.0 panic.  Just copy /usr/lib/filesystems/CDROM.fs off of the
3.0 CD, and all will be well.
