In what way doesn't it work?

Do you have something like /dev/dvd ? Where does it point to? Where  
are you expecting it to point to?

I think something like /dev/sr0 is often used for optical drives these  
days. That's what it is on my system. Please `dmesg | grep sr`. It  
would have done you any hard to attache your entire `dmesg` output in  
your original posting.
