I'm surprised! I've got a few Thinkpads, Fujitsu's and Compaq's I've got Linux installed on. Never had any problems tho all of them have either removable floppy- or CD-drives. Not even Mulinux hiccups:) It was only after mdk9.1 (and only Mandrake!) that my Fujitsu would freeze on bootup if I left the pcmcia-cdrom inserted and the pcmcia-service turned 'on' at boot. That was resolved with kernel 2.4.22-21 only ---and I still don't know why. Naturally I never enable supermount on those....if only to save some time during the boot sequence.....a laptop has to boot or resume fast IMO.
