Can you post the contents of your /etc/fstab file?
cat /etc/fstab
and then copy and paste here.

From the description, it sounds like a kernel panic. Try flipping to console mode by holding down Ctrl and Alt then pressing the F1 key before inserting a CD and see what happens. With any luck, you'll see the exact kernel panic message and if you can describe the message to us, we may be better able to help.
It's almost definitely a kernel oops and I'll bet that he gets some message about 'mandrake kernel: kernel BUG at subfs.c:666!' or some other nonsense. My guess is the culprit is going to be supermount. Hate it.
