Red Hat on Hyper-V - My CDROM doesn't work anymore!

I was doing some testing with Red Hat Enterprise Linux and didn't want to install it on physical hardware as I didn't have any available at the time.  After installing the OS, I decided to install the Hyper-V Integration tools so that I could have access to the NIC.  After getting it installed and rebooting, the CDRom is gone.  It's not that I can't mount it, the actual device is gone.  I did some searching and apparently, this is a known issue by Microsoft.  They have http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2600152 available for this issue as a workaround.  I created a shell script to do this and have it run at boot so I don't have to worry about it again.
