After installing the recent kernel update, mounting has gone haywire. When I put in a cd (in either of my 2 drives) it doesn't mount. In thunar, when I click on the cd drive, it displays this error:
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sr0,
missing codepage or other error
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so.
I did dmesg | tail and I got this:
EXT3-fs: mounted filesystem with ordered data mode.

Also, when booting a few minutes ago, it was stuck on the "checking filesystems" for a few minutes, when it usually does that step almost immediately. I also couldn't mount an iso, this is what happened:
[root@eric-arch eric]# mount -o loop -t iso9660 /path/to/iso.iso /mnt/iso2
mount: could not find any device /dev/loop#
Note: I am not certain that it was caused by the kernel update, but that is the only thing I did to my machine before this started happening.
Please help asap because I need to do schoolwork which is on a cd.

I know the solution to the /dev/loop-problem. The new 2.6.25 kernel has the loop device as a module. Please try a `modprobe loop`, that gives you a /dev/loop. I don't know whether that will be persistent after a reboot, so you may need to add "loop" to the modules-list in /etc/rc.conf.

That worked, but I still have other issues with cd mounting, so I downgraded my kernel for now.
