   It might help to know for sure how the disc was created (what software, 
format, etc).  I don't know of any burning software that normally creates 
other than ISO9660, unless it's something like Adaptec DirectCD.  In that 
case I'm not sure it CAN be read by anything other than DCD. I'm probably 
wrong, though.

   Can you read other discs on this machine with the current kernel?  If 
so I'd guess the disc is bad, blank, or in a strange format.  On my system 
I get:
[root at freak root]# mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom1 /mnt/cdrom1
mount: block device /dev/cdrom1 is write-protected, mounting read-only
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/cdrom1,
       or too many mounted file systems

   With a blank disc in the drive.  I get the I/O error if I don't specify 
a FS type.

Sometimes the light's all shining on me,
Other times I can barely see.
Lately it occurs to me
What a long strange trip it's been.
