Thank you Chris for your reply. I did finally get supermount disabled by using the CL method of "supermount -i disable". I can live with manually mounting/unmounting my cdrom and floppy. At least I know what to expect each time I use them now. ;-) I found the uncertainty of supermount very frustrating indeed. From what I can determine, supermount just will not work on some hardware configurations. Mine seems to be one of those.
