What you describe sounds like a udev problem. It is udev that is
responsible for creating the devices. I have no brilliant solution but
it sounds like for some reason udev decides that those /dev files are
not needed when confronted with an inserted. Now one question. Are you
inserting data CDs or music or video CDs? Only data CDs are mounted. Are
you somehow trying to mount a music CD?
