What kernel version are you using?
I have seen this happening a lot in earlier Linux:es.
The solution then was usually to re-export (exportfs -r) the filesystems AFTER
the local mount of the cdrom/DVD. In my current 2.6.14 it seems to
work without any problems though.

I am using this to update laptops from a common Mandriva DVD.
