Run 'updatedb', and then 'locate supermount.o' this should return:
/lib/modules/<2.4.x-version>/kernel/fs/supermount/supermount.o
Bring up '/etc/rc.d/init.d/mandrake_everytime' in an editor and make
sure this line (^^^^^^^^^^).....
# Disabling supermount if not here
if [[ $(uname -m) != sparc* ]];then
if grep -q '^\/.*supermount.*' /etc/fstab && \
[ ! -f "/lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/fs/supermount/supermount.o" ]
. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
.....matches the 'locate' you got for 'supermount.o' above as mine does.
Don't change $(uname -r) or anything that comes before it.
Now you'll need to check 'etc/fstab'. You should see...
/mnt/cdrom /mnt/cdrom supermount fs=iso9660,dev=/dev/cdrom 0 0
/mnt/cdrom2 /mnt/cdrom2 supermount fs=iso9660,dev=/dev/cdrom2 0 0
/mnt/floppy /mnt/floppy supermount fs=vfat,dev=/dev/fd0 0 0
..... lines similar to mine, ie, supermount in them.
If you don't, you can either swap in a bakup copy of fstab that
does, or run 'supermount -i enable' Check to make sure that fstab is
now configured for supermount, and re-boot. I could tell ya how to
start supermount without re-booting, but this is a lot easier.
Now supermount should be functioning properly with a 2.4.x kernel.
