Hope you use a IDE CDwriter and /dev/cdrom is a symlink to /dev/scd0. In that case do this.
# modprobe ide-scsi
Now give a try. Your problem will be solved.
As a permanent solution add this to /etc/modules.conf
alias scd0 sr_mod # load sr_mod upon access of scd0 alias scsi_hostadapter ide-scsi # SCSI host adaptor emulation options ide-cd ignore=hdc # if /dev/hdc is your CD-writer

/dev/cdrom symlinks to /dev/sr0, atleast in my machine (debian woody).
# modprobe ide-scsi

Hi, Did u try mounting the device explicitly as in: mount -t iso9660 /dev/scd0 /mnt/cdrom (Provided you have scsi emulation enabled)
or try it without scsi emulation
mount -t iso9660 /dev/[device] /mnt/cdrom
(device - hda,hdb,hdc,hdd ; wherever your cdrom is connected)
also a simple method to load scsi emulation is to pass parameters to the kernel before booting (eg: hdc=ide-scsi)
