Hi,

it might be the good old unhide problem. You can solve it by mounting your
cdrom manually, by typing (as root) :

mount -t iso9660 -r -o unhide /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom

note that you must unmount your cdrom first :

umount /mnt/cdrom

if the system answers that the device is busy, kill any process accessing
it. For this, you can type (as root):

lsof | grep /dev/cdrom

the second column of the resulting list is the ID of the process accessing
your disk. As root, type :
kill -9 xxxxx
where xxxxx is the ID number (be careful to type it exactly !!)

then you can unmount /mnt/cdrom, and then again, mount it manually with
the unhide option.

hope it'll work :) Dont forget to exit the root account once you're done !
