Failed to mount XFCE4 problem-> mount: wrong fs type

I can mount cdrom manualy with mount /dev/cdrom /media. But that's not so practical.I have HAL daemon in rc.conf. I put myself into HAL,dbus group. I get this error when cdrom automounts:

Failed to mount "Name of cdrom".
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/dvd,
       missing codepage or other error
       In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
       dmesg | tail  or so.

On other CD/RW drive it can automount CD-Rom, but if I push button I get this:

Failed to eject "/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/storage_model_CRW5232/AAO".
 Given device "/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/storage_model_CRW5232/AAO" is not a volume or drive.

I need right click on Drive icon and than "Eject volume". I know that with HAL I don't need nothing to mess with in fstab.

I'm sad.I like very much XFCE interface,easy on eye.

Re: Failed to mount XFCE4 problem-> mount: wrong fs type

Do you still have the cdrom and dvd entries in /etc/fsab??  Comment them out and see if that works

Hope that helps
