I'm assuming your /dev/cdrom file is ok. What is it linked to? E.g., if
your you have IDE CD-ROM drive connected as the master of the second IDE
interface, then /dev/cdrom should be a symbolic link to /dev/hdc (or be
a device with the same major/minor as /dev/hdc).

Did you remember to unmount the drive first? check (with "mount") that it
is no longer mounted.
After the CD is not busy and not mounted, you should even be able to eject it
with the "eject" button that most CD drives have. Did you try that?

Yes, that was my first suspicion ;)
Dan, what did you stick into the drive this time?? :)
