that all looks good - I don't think it actually mounts until you tell it
to mount - i.e. I use KDE and KDE uses a widget called 'Device Notifier'
and it wouldn't mount the inserted CD until you do something like open
the disk with 'file manager' (Dolphin). I don't know the similar actions
from GNOME. You might find that the disk is actually available and
waiting for user instruction to actually 'mount' it.
