What tools did you use to make this CD in the first place? By what you've said so far, it sounds like your cd is not an "ISO" CD but perhaps a UDF type. In that case, you'll have to be sure that UDF file system support is available in your kernel and then mount the disk like so: mount -t udf /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom I havenot dealt personally with UDF CD's in any environment for a long time and have never done so in linux so I am guessing a bit here.
