10.0 should not be using Supermount for the CD-ROMs any longer. There is a new version called magicdev that performs the same function as supermount, it automatically mounts removable media when inserted.
Yes, but this isn't quite the whole story. Supermount-ng in the latest kernels is a better solution than magicdev. Even the Mandrake developers involved have said so on the cooker ML, an alluded to the fact that making magicdev the default wasn't their preference. So they suggested, and many cooker'rs have:
urpme magicdev supermount -i enable mount -a
A search of the cooker archive should clear it up. Most cooker'rs like myself updated daily to 10.0+, an so never had magicdev installed. So at best it's very much untested. Bugs have been filed on it tho, search bugzilla. Most common bug was that it wouldn't release the CD tray, and/or recognize when a media was inserted.
Thanks - I uninstalled magicdev, turned on supermount and everything was back to normal. Now if I can get sound and my nvidia drivers working, I'll be a happy little Robin!
