One suggestion is to remove the "supermount" and go back to the way
things were before that. ie:
/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto sync,user,noauto,nosuid,nodev,unhide 0 0
(straight from my Mandrake 6.0 system.)
You might also want to do the same for the CDROM, as others have
reported problems with it. Dunno why, but that "supermount" seems to
be problematic for many. I haven't tried it yet, as I"m still using
Mandrake 6.0. :-)
