You likely need to change your /etc/fstab entry to allow user access.
Here's mine (FC2) edited to fit on a line here...
/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom udf,iso9660 noauto,user,kudzu,ro 0 0
You probably want "/media/cdrom" in place of "/mnt/cdrom".
Here are a couple of "ls" to show you my setup...
$ ls -l /dev/hdc
brw------- 1 jmccarty disk 22, 0 Feb 23 2004 /dev/hdc
$ ls -ld /mnt/cdrom
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Oct 20 2004 /mnt/cdrom
If you set up /media/cdrom as shown, and make the suggested
entry in /etc/fstab, you'll probably get better results.

You have found the bank of Larn.
I can explain it for you, but I can't understand it for you.
I speak only for myself, and I am unanimous in that!
