The best way to solve the problem would be to install the kernel
sources and compile the kernel. But this implies some reading
(Kernel-HOWTO for example).
Another way would be to put insert the needed module. You said
'no longer' so I assume that some time ago you were able to mount the cd.
If you installed the distributions without recompiling the kernel than you
have the kernel and modules supplied with the distribution. You could try
to search a file named isofs.o. If the both kernels have the same version
(check it with uname -r) than this might work. What I have in mind is to
put that file in /lib/modules/`uname -r`/fs/ directory. Eventually than
you'll give the command depmod -a. I'm not sure if this might work if the
kernels have different versions.
