Well, problems problems. I ALWAYS compile my kernels with supermount support built into the kernel, not as a module, because for some items I get tired of problems with modules not working (like sound modules...I HAVE to build my driver into the kernel or sound will not work). So, I built supermount support into my 2.4.17 kernel but after I added "user" to the supermount lines in my fstab and then tried to mount the floppy, I get "supermount fs type not supported by kernel". GAH! I DID build it INTO the frickin' kernel. It HAS to support it unless the "code" for supermount in the 2.4.17 kernel is a joke, just some null text.
Anyone else have problems like this?
