KDE cannot mount cdrom


I try to mount a dvd with dolphin but it tells me:
Code:
An error occurred while accessing 'CD', the system responded: The requested operation has failed.: Error mounting: mount exited with exit code 1: helper failed with:
mount: only root can mount /dev/sr0 on /mnt/cdrom
It's an ATA DVD-RW drive, user is in cdrom and cdrw groups.

USB works.

Code:
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# noatime turns off atimes for increased performance (atimes normally aren't 
# needed); notail increases performance of ReiserFS (at the expense of storage 
# efficiency).  It's safe to drop the noatime options if you want and to 
# switch between notail / tail freely.
#
# The root filesystem should have a pass number of either 0 or 1.
# All other filesystems should have a pass number of 0 or greater than 1.
#
# See the manpage fstab(5) for more information.
#

# <fs>                  <mountpoint>    <type>          <opts>          <dump/pass>

# NOTE: If your BOOT partition is ReiserFS, add the notail option to opts.
/dev/sda5               /boot                   ext2            noauto,noatime  1 2
/dev/sda6               /                       ext4            noatime         0 1
/dev/sda7               none                    swap            sw              0 0
/dev/sda2               /Windows/C              ntfs            noatime         0 1
/dev/sda3               /Windows/D              ntfs            noatime         0 1
/dev/cdrom              /mnt/cdrom              auto            noauto,ro       0 0
/dev/fd0                /mnt/floppy             auto            noauto          0 0
Also, /dev/sda5 won't mount on /boot
Code:
An error occurred while accessing '64.0 MiB Hard Drive', the system responded: The requested operation has failed.: Error mounting: mount exited with exit code 1: helper failed with:
mount: only root can mount /dev/sda5 on /boot
How can I solve this?
-------------
Code:
$ mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom
mount: only root can do that
$ mount /dev/sr0 /mnt/cdrom
mount: only root can do that

--------------

KDE version: 4.8.5

Distribution: Gentoo with vanilla kernel 3.2.21

It works, I edited fstab:

/dev/sda5               /boot                   ext2            noauto,noatime  1 2
/dev/sda6               /                       ext4            noatime         0 1
/dev/sda7               none                    swap            sw              0 0
/dev/sda2               /Windows/C              ntfs            noatime         0 1
/dev/sda3               /Windows/D              ntfs            noatime         0 1
/dev/cdrom              /mnt/cdrom              auto            noauto,ro,users 0 0
/dev/fd0                /mnt/floppy             auto            noauto          0 0
Problem solved!

added users to /dev/cdrom opts.
