smbmount worked just fine in previous releases. Some research told me that I should be using cifs instead, and I got this (from a root shell):

I had same problem smbfs not supported by kernel. Just replaced smb with cifs and it worked as before.
Not for me -- see the last part of my original post, repeated above.
Not really a fiasco in my book, I mount loads of Windows drives from all over, not had a problem other than that.
It's a fiasco because (a) I'm not the only one who's not been able to solve this, and (b) the original message about smbfs not being supported in the kernel is wildly misleading, especially if you've had it working in a previous SuSE version.
