I've been having the exact same issue, but with a Debian/testing system.  I'm
trying to mount a CD at the command line and it prints the same message.

My first thought was that somehow the drive must have broken, probably due to
lonliness because nobody uses it at work.  Still, the tray works and the light
stays on shortly once the disc is in.

So... maybe something *has* changed vis-a-vis CDs and mounting from the
command line?  I was doing thing while in single user mode so the only thing
running was udev... maybe it's meddling with things?
