I would assume that supermount is still working/workable in the mandrake 2.4.17 kernel. I wouldn't know since I couldn't get any of them to run or boot properly on my laptop (kernel panics or pcmcia/sound problems). Supermount is still one of those patches that mandrake adds but which is not in the base kernel. I built and installed a kernel.org 2.4.17 kernel, which DOES work almost perfectly on my laptop - and it doesn't have the option of supermount.
Now if I could just get the power down to work...I've rebuilt it a couple times with different power management settings but it still wont automatically power off after shutdown. I turned OFF all acpi (apci?) power management stuff but left most of the apm stuff on. Do I NEED the apci (acpi?) stuff on to get auto-power off on shutdown? I'm willing to rebuild my kernel yet one more time but I'll cry while it is going on. praedor On Tuesday 29 January 2002 02:07 am, Franki wrote: > huh? > > I had supermount working flawlessly with kernel 2.4.11-6 so if > supermount doesn't work with 2.4.17-X then its because they broke it > again.. > > my biggest complaint with the newest kernels is the new method of > packaging the headers, I prefered them as a headers rpm.. having to > upgrade glibc is a pain in the ass for a kernel upgrade..

I just like tinkering. _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Get your free @yahoo.com address at http://mail.yahoo.com
