I have the same problem on my Laptops (seems to work ok on my desktop systems so far). I have to disable supermount to be able to properly mount/unmount/use CD's. Plus, once disabled, I have to shut down and restart the system for the change to take effect, rebooting isn't enough. Supermount seems to bite the big one and for newbies it is very important to have working. I think adding in Alan Cox's fix would be a good idea.
Cheers, Jason P.S. I am running a bone stock 9.0 install.
