Execute permission problem
Hello,
I need to install a program from a DVD. It uses a sh script called setup.

Code:
root@ragnok:   head -2 /media/cdrom0/setup
#!/bin/sh


root@ragnok: ls -l /media/cdrom0/setup
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root root 4688 Nov  8 08:38 /media/cdrom0/setup

root@ragnok: /media/cdrom0/setup
bash: /media/cdrom0/setup: Permission denied

The script has execute permission. Why am I denied permission to execute it?

Debian 6.0
Best regards,
Fred
