What does
Code:
grep "cdrom" /etc/fstab

give you? And also,
Code:
ls -l /dev/cdrom

If worst comes to the worst, just reboot the thing, then that will force a dismount anyway. Then when it boots, try
Code:
mount -t iso9660 -o ro /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom

and mount manually as root. See what happens.

Cheers
