I don't know why the cdrom would be available before but not now.  Have you changed your drives? Did you install DSL in a different fashion?  What type of cd drive(s) do you have? Are you runing DSL as a live CD? What messages, if any, do you get when you run the command mount /dev/cdrom or mount /dev/cdrom1 from a terminal (with a proper CD in the drive)?

CDrom drives are never automounted in DSL, and probably never will be.  You could probably try installing a utility such as supermount that will monitor your drives and mount them when media is inserted.  Still, if your drive cannot be manually mounted yet, I doubt it will work until you get that problem fixed.

The cdrom does not show up in the mount tool becuase the mount tool looks in the /etc/fstab file for lines containing mnt in them.  To fix this for myself I added a comment to the end of lines in the fstab file which simply had #mnt at the end.

/dev/fd0  /floppy  vfat  defaults,user,noauto,showexec,umask=022  0  0 #mnt
/dev/cdrom  /cdrom  iso9660  defaults,ro,user,noexec,noauto  0  0 #mnt

now the mount tool shows them with no problems.

Even after changing this in /etc/fstab CDROM does not appear in Mount tool.
I even restarted the system and checked once again. Im using DSL 2.4

Mounting and Unmounting through commands is perfectly working.
