Hey Sandeep I have tried using 'service autofs stop' command , i see a stopped response in the terminal, but still i am not able to access the CDROM .Is there any other way.Should i replace the CDROM, or recompiling the kernel will help.Also how do i recompile the kernel making sure that it has the required driver or ATAPI interface.
Please advice.
