If you go to the updates page of the Mandrake site it has a blurb on this bug. Everyone should be updating their kernel to 2.2.9-27 anyway because of a security bug... but this as well as the initscripts is what is needed to fix the unmount bug.. I have that bug as well.. I have updated

Don't know if the kernel upgrade specifically address anything to do with the unmounting bug (i have my doubts as all i updated were the init scripts and then the problem went away), but it's certainly not true to say everyone should upgrade the kernel because of the security bug. I don't have

Goto www.linux-mandrake.com and download the new initscripts and kernel. Install them. Open up lilo.conf in a text editor of some sort and change the kernel version ( i.e. 2.2.2.9 to 2.2.2.27 or something like that.) Save the file and close the editor. From a terminal window run lilo.
