sr0: CDROM not ready (SOLVED)

This is the message I get from dmesg and also during boot, it's slows down the bootprocess with 4/5 seconds.

sr0: CDROM not ready.  Make sure there is a disc in the drive.

I have 2 dvd-drives working fine.

fstab:

none                   /dev/pts      devpts    defaults            0      0
none                   /dev/shm      tmpfs     defaults            0      0

/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom   iso9660   ro,user,noauto,unhide   0      0
/dev/cdrom1 /mnt/cdrom1   iso9660   ro,user,noauto,unhide   0      0
/dev/dvd /mnt/dvd   udf   ro,user,noauto,unhide   0      0
/dev/dvd1 /mnt/dvd1   udf   ro,user,noauto,unhide   0      0
/dev/fd0 /mnt/fd0   vfat   user,noauto   0      0
/dev/sdc1 /boot ext2 defaults 0 1
/dev/sdc2 swap swap defaults 0 0
/dev/sdc3 / ext3 defaults 0 1
/dev/sdc4 /home ext3 defaults 0 1

ls -l /dev/cdrom* gives me..

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 17 2007-07-09 11:55 /dev/cdrom -> /dev/cd/cdrom-sr0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 17 2007-07-09 11:55 /dev/cdrom0 -> /dev/cd/cdrom-sr0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 17 2007-07-09 11:55 /dev/cdrom1 -> /dev/cd/cdrom-sr1

Anyone?

At boot, start Arch CD with this option:

arch ide-legacy

Fixes the problem for me.

I'm not booting from CD, I'm booting an installed system.
