I've found the same. supermount works reliably for CD/DVD and USB flash devices, despite any alleged "evilness". The alternatives all had drawbacks that made them inferior to supermount from this user's point of view. I use gentoo-dev-sources and apply the patch from the ck sources site. It's worked reliably since supermount was removed from gentoo-dev-sources for 2.6.8(?). -- Neil Bothwick Macro: (n.) a series of keystrokes used to simulate a missing but essential command.
