Make sure the line in /etc/fstab is:
/dev/cdrom /cdrom iso9660 defaults,ro,user,noexec,noauto 0 0

Try the mount command I gave, but try as root.

yeah thats exactly what the line looks like in fstab. i tried your mount command and it still didnt work? not sure what else to do? could it be maybe my cdrom is not compatible with this kernel? dont know what else it could be?
