What should I do?

    I'd start by upgrading to a version of Linux from this century. Red Hat 5 was released in 1997! (If you mean RHEL 5 then even that is still almost a decade old). – Quentin Nov 10 '15 at 15:24

The solution is simple:
you should to mount to an existing folder.
For example:
mount /dev/cdrom /opt
This mount will work because folder /opt already exists.

  • Mounting a media device on /opt (or any other used directory) is a terrible idea. – dr_ Dec 02 '15 at 08:26
