thanks, I was aware of this option, and used it already, so that was not
the prob....

but this is clearly the prob! And I even found that the cifs module isnt
official part of 2.4 kernel, argh! Though found a 2.4 backport at
http://linux-cifs.samba.org/cifs/cifs_download.html
which I now try to compile...

thanks very much for pointing me to it; did not think about!
