Is this a fresh install or an upgrade from previous versions? You can 
try (if using gnome) to go to System>Preferences>"Removable Drives and 
Media" and see what is set. In KDE, a window should nag you when you add 
anything. Also make sure that there is no CDROM location set in the 
fstab. I don't know why, but the automounting seems to not work in FC5 
when something is there for the CDs.
