You're most definitely right, it's a noexec issue what you see.
As it's not SL4 nor Debian Sarge, you will *not* have in /etc/fstab any CD-ROM
line, but you will have it automatically mounted in GNOME/KDE. If it's not
something SELinux-related, you should be able to fix it easily:
(1) umount the CD and re-mount it manually, with '-o exec' ('defaults' should
include 'exec' too) --or--
(2) skip the umount and force a duplicate remount elsewhere, by mounting it
with the option '--bind' passed to mount.
Another couple of options for people to mull over (not better just
different)...
As root do a remount rather than umount/mount, e.g.
mount -o remount,exec /media/volname
As a user you seem to no longer be allowed to directly mount/umount stuff
any more :-( but you *can* ask HAL to do it for you, e.g.
gnome-mount -u -p volname
gnome-mount -p volname
and that allows options to be passed as needed for this case:
gnome-mount -p volname -o exec
obviously with volname being the volume name...
