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/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.
