Of course I could just be making that up. It's been a while... I  
noticed that I don't have a .kde/Autostart/Autorun.desktop file so  
that very well could have something to do with it. Thinking about it  
deeper, noauto might have something to do with LVM? I used to have an  
issue booting with a DVD in the drive until I added noauto. (On boot  
LVM would sit there looking at my DVD forever until I ejected it)
