Mr. Mason:

	Well I shall do that, but if svetljo has a link for a mandrake specific version of the patch for the exact kernel version I am running, I think I will prefer that solutions. I will however review your suggestions none the less.

Very Respectfully,

You could also look for drop_super() in fs/super.c.  If it is there, use
the 2.4.9 patch, if it isn't, use the 2.4.4 patch.  I'm guessing you'll
need the 2.4.4 one.
