Then post the contents of /proc/ide/hdX where X is the letter associated with /dev/cdrom. The do a /sbin/lsmod and post the results after you instert a valid cd (with iso9660 filesystem that is) and try to mount it. By the output we will know what your kernel thinks about your cd drive and what modules are actually managing it. This is the third post that I count this month that has some sort of CD related problems... hmmm...
