All Ubuntu kernels treat any drive as an sd? and since I'm experimenting with a Sidux kernel to get the PREEMPT capability to improve desktop performance, it does the same thing. Actually, it seems as though by treating every drive as an sd? that a lot of these sorts of issues are solved. > Sounds pretty risky to me. I don't know why.

I've yet to try your suggestion as this weekend was one full of shoveling snow and other winter time duties.
