I have been using gentoo for a while now amd64 install and have never tried using my cdrom before other than for the installation and I can not find my cdrom anymore. I have it in my group for my user but when I look under storage media in kde I believe it used to show the cdrom now it doesnt. i need some help installing or trying to find it. thanks

Try to execute
Code:

mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom

as root in your console. If this works umount the drive and try
Code:

mount /mnt/cdrom

as user in the console. If this fails you have to adjust your
/etc/fstab file!

Have fun!

you must not have executable permissions on /etc/fstab. Just run
# mount /mnt/cdrom

Did
Code:

mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom

as root worked for you? If so, change the line
Code:

/dev/cdroms/cdrom0 /mnt/cdrom auto noauto,user 0 0

of your /etc/fstab file to
Code:

/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom iso9660 noauto,user 0 0


Afterwards save and try
Code:

mount /mnt/cdrom

as a normal user.

Does this work?
