Can not mount cdrom need tools to debug problems

[Peter A. Banks]

Whenever I try to do a mount /dev/cdrom I get an Invalid block device.
This was a machine that had a working grub configuration line (hdc=ide_scsi)
and was upgraded from FC1 to FC2.
Using the newest kernel 2.6.2-1.81 i686 athlon.

All the usual tools like dmesg is filled with so many unrelated error
messages, I can't debug also I noticed that there is no devfsd.conf file to
debug configuration.
Any suggestions for debugging this

Also my Ensonic 1373 sound card is not being discovered by the discovery
process.
