	No, it doesn't help. In fact, mount seems to be doing the usual
stuff: if I leave the CD tray out, it will put the CD inside (and load
all modules), some soothing whirring sounds will be produced, and the CD
will be heated up. By stating. But then, we get the "no medium found"
problem, and that's it. I am using proper CDs, not dodgy "burnyerown"
type.

	Could there be a filesystem driver missing? I have isofs, which
seems to be loaded automatically together with cdrom and ide-cd. What on
Earth could be wrong with this?

	cheers,
	José
