Can't mount CDs on E1505

I have an E1505 running Sabayon 3.3 (Gentoo based) that cannot see or mount CDs of any type. Music, data, etc. It will see and mount DVDs just fine. I have the DVD-RW drive as listed below.

1 313-3959 8X DVD+/-RW Drive for Inspiron 6400/E1505

I don't have this problem with the same distro on other laptops and desktops (with DVD-RW drives). This is unique to the 1505.

Ideas?

Thanks!

UPDATE: I can manually mount CD-ROMs from the command line but they aren't visible within KDE. I can only access the CD-ROMs from the command line at /mnt/cdrom. I cannot manually mount music CDs.

Your best bet would be to look at your /etc/fstab file. Make sure you back it up first. In a terminal this would consist of:

sudo cp /etc/fstab /etc/fstab_BACKUP

Then make sure the original file has the below line present:

gksu gedit /etc/fstab

the line in question is:

/dev/hdc /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto 0 0

If you have two cd/dvd drives, make sure the following is also present:

/dev/hdd /media/cdrom1 udf,iso9660 user,noauto 0 0

Hope this helps.
