[ale] Cannot mout cdrom drive

[Scott Nolde]

I asked this qustion in tonight' ALE meeting:
"If I upgraded from RH5.2 to RH6.0 using the cdrom drive, why can't I
mount it?"

Here's the bash response:
[root at smnolde scott]# mount /dev/cdrom
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/cdrom,
       or too many mounted file systems

[root at smnolde scott]# more /etc/fstab
/dev/hda8    /            ext2    defaults        1
/dev/hda1    /boot        ext2    defaults        1
/dev/hdb5    /dl          ext2    defaults        1
/dev/hdb7    /opt         ext2    defaults        1
/dev/hdb1    /tmp         ext2    defaults        1
/dev/hda5    /usr         ext2    defaults        1
/dev/hdb6    /usr/local   ext2    defaults        1
/dev/hdb8    /usr/src     ext2    defaults        1
/dev/hda6    /var         ext2    defaults        1
/dev/hda7     swap        swap    defaults        0
/dev/fd0     /mnt/floppy  ext2    noauto          0
/dev/cdrom   /mnt/cdrom   iso9660 noauto,ro       0
none         /proc        proc    defaults        0


I heard I might need to recomile the kernel with and added option...
What is the option, and then how do I recompile (I'll look it up in
LDP - don't answer this one).

Thanks,
Scott

BTW - it was my first ale meeting and it was way cool.
