See if you have k3b or some other multimedia application installed. If there are no optical drives anywhere ... then there is some problem.

Insert a new dvd in the dvd drive.
Are the LEDs ok ?
In FC8, a dialogue box should happen in KDE.

Post the contents of /etc/fstab here.

That message can be many things.
Is your dvd drive OK? (you can check with a live cd)

Start a terminal

#su

#lshw

(post relevant parts here... you will find your dvd drive there if it has been detected in the first place)

Have you enabled "appropriate" dma for your drives?
Do not go beyond 6
