Norman,
Maybe you have to check your fstab (posting it here might be a good
idea). If that is right, then you should try to mount those drives
manually and see the result.

Problem mounting cdrom,cdrw,usb
Norman,
First understand one thing: The terminal is always a good friend :-)
Second, let's explain the fstab: Fstab (filesystem table) is a table
with all the specification for you filesystem. Check this out:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fstab. To check the content of fstab just
type this on you terminal:
$ cat /etc/fstab
(and paste here the result of this command)
Third, to mount manually a device, you need to know first which device
is what on your Linux. Usually, cdrom is some /dev/hdc thing. Then, to
mount it:
$ mount /dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom
The strange things is: How did you installed gentoo without knowing
this issues? :-)
Hope this 2 cents helps you.

Eduardo,
I have checked the content of fstab and this is the result:
Honestly, at first when i installed gentoo,i just installed it by using the handbook and i thought it will be no problem. Actually this is my first time using Linux and i never have any experience using it before.

Norman

Norman,
I am glad to know that you have chosen Gentoo as your first contact
with GNU/Linux. First of all, congratulations! having a working Gentoo
system without any previous Linux knowledge is a terrific start!
I assumed that you knew what fstab is and how to modify that file
because it is explained in the Gentoo Handbook, which is the reference
to install this distribution.
As explained in the Gentoo Handbook chapter 8 [1], you manually
created a text file under "/etc" called "fstab". This simple text file
contains all the necessary information to, let's say "auto-mount" your
different devices.
# NOTE: The next line is critical for boot!
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
# glibc 2.2 and above expects tmpfs to be mounted at /dev/shm for
# POSIX shared memory (shm_open, shm_unlink).
# (tmpfs is a dynamically expandable/shrinkable ramdisk, and will
# use almost no memory if not populated with files)
shm /dev/shm tmpfs nodev,nosuid,noexec 0 0
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Usually, adding this
"/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom auto noauto,ro,user 0 0"
should be enough to have your cd-rom/cd-rw/dvd working =).
If that does not work, then let us know and see if we can figure out
something else. If it does work, then great! go on enjoying Gentoo
Linux.
You learn a lot using Gentoo. Is the only distribution that gave m the
chance to learn a lot about Linux. It is very stable and flexible, you
always have control over your own system, that is very important.
Regards,
Ricardo.

I can only echo the last 3 lines & add my own sense of awe
that anyone new to Linux got Gentoo running at the 1st shot !

Cristian Gary,
i've grouped it into plugdev.
Richard,
After i type this command "/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom auto noauto,ro,user 0 0" it shows:
bash: /dev/cdrom: Permission denied
i've login using root account. i've right clicked at the cdrom to see the properties and under Permissions tab the Owner column stated unknown and i tried to change the Access column to Read and Write it popup "The permisions could not be changed"
Regards,
Norman

Problem mounting cdrom,cdrw,usb
Hi again,
In fact, just like Ricardo said, my congrats to a person who wants to
learn Linux starting by Gentoo :-)
But, back to the problem:
Then, I insist at the point: As root, try to mount it manually and
paste the output here:
# mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom
Certify that /mnt/cdrom exists. :-)
