What went wrong? yes, i'm using 9.0. Is this a supermount bug? is it fixed in 9.1? Yes and Yes... I'm also told (although the box that had this problem for me died completely.) that the latest kernel for 9.0 (2.4.19-32mdk) also solves the problem. I'd try it first before the upgrade if you are happy with 9.0. James Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

They get visually and physically excluded because they are kernels and need to be installed not upgraded. Do, urpmi --update kernel from a command line and it will properly install the kernel, it should be something like 2419-32 in your lilo.conf by name... then reboot... kernels because of their nature can only be done explicitly not passively like all the other rpms.

Thanks for the info. Before I got your post I did some digging around on the Mandrake site and came across this page. http://www.mandrakesecure.net/en/kernelupdate.php It said to do - urpmi kernel-2.4.19.32mdk It installed the kernel and after a reboot: uname -a indicates that it is the running kernel.

What went wrong? Are you using 9.0? if so supermount in the stock kernel had problems with some cdroms and it seems yours is one of them... 3 choices. 1. eject and re-insert... it will work again 2. Disable supermount so that you have to unmount and mount manually it will work again and stay working. 3 Upgrade to 2.4.19-32mdk (the latest kernel for 9.0) it works much nicer.
