Try service autofs stop and put a CD in. If it isn't automatically mounted that''s a fix. You can service autofs start to get back to the way it was.

Comes up with "bash: service: command not found".

245611 2004-07-03 04:54:00 Damn. That's a nice RedHat shortcot. It's something like "/etc/init.d/autofs stop" in full ... but don't quote me on that. ;-) Graham L (2)
245612 2004-07-03 04:54:00 Oh wait... I tried it in a Linux Console instead of Root Console and got:

Stopping automount... then [ OK ]

Put a CD in and Konqueror fires up again.... :p
