I also had this problem, and after searching through the RH list archives,
found out that a lot of people using RH 8 and 9. Are running into this. I
got my CD back by changing in fstab:

/dev/cdrom              /mnt/cdrom  

to  

/dev/hda              /mnt/cdrom    

It seems, from the info you've given, this may not work on your setup, but
it does seem to be a fairly common problem.
