Well the answer is clear, it means your "kernel" lacks support for the
iso9660 filesystem, which is the format of the cd.
I dont think that you have a module for isofs, considering the error
message, however;
Before doing anything, check to see if you have a module called "isofs.o"
in /lib/modules/kernel_version_number which means if you are using 2.0.31
then its /lib/modules/2.0.31, to find out what kernel version you are
running do;
uname -r
If it is there, then try;
depmod -a
modprobe isofs
Then try mounting the divice again, the normal command is'
mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /root/cdr
If it is entered in /etc/fstab then just;
mount /dev/cdrom
will do..
If all that fails, you will need to compile another kernel..
If your kernel is a standard installed kernel from a distribution source,
then it should have module support for isofs.
