If the driver is loaded then you might find this a help from a previous post. 
I have copied and paste

This is determined by 
/usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor/99-redhat-storage-policy-fixed-drives.fdi. 
You can either edit it or just move it out of that location and auto 
mounting would work.

It has been done as a security measure but policy kit in Fedora 8 should 
make this much more usable. There is a recent discussion in fedora-devel 
list about this FYI.
