What blocked first was the mount of the CDROM, so because they are serialized 
I understand now why all the sunsequent mounts failed too.. :-( 

It's a mystery to me, but right now I tried the following:

- mounting and unmounting an ext2 partition
- mounting and unmounting a vfat partition
- mounting and unmounting the CDROM

and all of them worked !!!

Absolutely *nothing* has changed in my machine's setup, except I rebooted it 
, but I already did it *many* times yesterday, so I don't know what to say. 
Maybe a temporary hardware problem ???  :-((( 

I thank both of  you for your interest  !
