It may be a question of the format style on the CD you have in the bay. Windows uses (I believe) Joliet extension format, while most Unixes standardize on High Sierra format.

Have you tried to mount one of the Linux install CD's there? If that does not work, then you have a problem indeed!
Joliet under my RH 7.1 system is called 'Joliet' and is a kernel configuration parameter.
I'd think that most pre-configured kernels would have this set (but don't know for sure).
I'm not sure how to tell if it (Joliet) is there without looking at the .config file from the kernel build, but there must be a way to do that on the fly. Anybody know?

What exact mount command are you issuing, and what is the exact message you get? Your first message said 'another CDROM' and also '/dev/cdrom'. I think a second one would show up as '/dev/cdrom1' or something to that effect.
Are there any other messages in syslog? (/var/log/messages ?)
What is the result of:
ls /dev/cdrom
ls -l /dev/cdrom
ls /dev/cdrom1
ls -l /dev/cdrom1
??
What are the contents of /etc/fstab?
Are you sure the boot routines do not have a problem with the device? Check syslog and 'dmesg | less'.
What is the output of 'cat /proc/filesystems' ?
Was the Linux system installed from the ROM? Is this a second CD on the system? It should probalbly show up as /dev/cdrom1, not /dev/cdrom.
