CDROM?



Good Day,
	Have a CD ROM question here.  

Background:  I recently upgraded my machine from RH6.2 to Debian 2.2r2.  
Hardware has not changed.
Upgraded to kernel 2.4.0-test11, the same kernel I was running under RH, 
configured the same way.
None of my filesystems are built as modules (all built in to kernel).
I have a properly written fstab file.  

Symptoms:
Attempts to mount a CD from console (init 3) result in a modprobe complaint 
about not being able to find nls_iso8859-1.  The CD mounts nonetheless 
(verified with mtab)
Attempts to mount from an Xterm while in init 5 result in no warnings, and 
the CD mounts.
In both cases, listing /mnt/cdrom (the mount point) produces an empty 
directory.  The disks were readable under RH6.2 and read under both Win and 
Mac.

I don't understand the reference to modprobe...I have exactly *one* item 
built as a module - my Nvidia driver.  Everything else is built-in, so why is 
modprobe getting involved?

I've checked to make sure that modules.conf is setup properly, and the 
correct system.map is installed. 
I've tried the mount as a user, and as root.
I've chmod both devices to 777.

I'm out of ideas.
Any suggestions?
