Hmm. It works just fine for me here under 2.1.120. You dont have
"options cdrom autoclose=0" in /etc/conf.modules, right? Could you try
adding "options cdrom debug=1" so I can see where the mount process
dies? The output of dmesg (just the ide and cdrom specific parts) would
also be useful, so we know what type of drive it is...
