I've yet to run across any SATA controllers which allow one to enable

Hi List;
I've followed these instructions to get my slow second drive issue fixed. It
seems to have worked. However now I can only mount the cd/dvd (with the dvd
drive in the 'ultrabay' as root by explicitly mounting the drive. My KDE
automount prompt no longer appears, etc...
Thanks in advance
