This script only activates if you built supermount into the kernel. With
semi-stock mandrake boxes, always build it as a module to avoid the problem.
If you read that portion of the script carefully, you will realize that it
is a safety device. If your fstab has supermount entries in it and the
module is unavailable, then it disables it, because it assumes that it can't
use supermount.
I have submitted a patch for it, but even if it goes in, it requires a
variable be set in /etc/sysconfig/system which is written at install time.

In my experience, supermont -i enable frequently generates invalid fstab
entries.
> Supermount or other fstab entries would be appreciated.
