Unable to mount cdrom

[Frank Kumro]

I am currently running slackware 9.1 (kernel 2.4.24) and I am unable to 
mount my cdrom drive...at all! I thought it was the cdrom drive itself 
so I installed a new one, didnt help. I was wondering if I forgot to 
enable something in the kernel because I was able to mount cdroms with 
the default kernel that came with slackware. Also I am able to burn cd's 
with my second drive perfectly fine. I really dont know where to start 
so any help would be great. Also how could I make it so I can access my 
second cdrom drive with /dev/cdrom2 ? is it possible?

trying to mount a cd

bash-2.05b# mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom
mount: block device /dev/cdrom is write-protected, mounting read-only
mount: No medium found

my /etc/fstab
