Kudzu might be part of the problem. If kudzu is in the parameter, try 
removing the parameter to the line. If it is not installed, add it to 
the parameters.

/dev/cdrom     /mnt/cdrom     udf,iso9660 noauto,owner,kudzu,ro 0 0

If this does not work. Add these entries to one of the rc.local scripts.

I added this to my /etc/fstab file.
/dev/sda1               /tos1                   vfat    noauto,owner,rw 0 0

and this to my /etc/rc.d/rc.local file.
mount /dev/sda1

This is a USB drive that I sometmes have plugged in. It mounts great 
when hooked up. When it is not hooked up, there is a error message about 
/dev/sda1 not detected, but no system loss.
