CD does not eject problem. Fedora 7, Dell Inspiron 8200, kernel 2.6.22.5-76.fc7

[filmil]

The CD drive does not eject, nor does it mount a CD that is in the drive.

While running linux: If I press the button on the CD drive bay, nothing happens. If I use eject, nothing happens, and no error is reported. Advice appreciated.

See below for a verbose eject log. Eject program exits with success, but the CD is still not ejected.

While system boots, the eject button on the drive bay works as expected.

$ eject -v
eject: using default device `cdrom'
eject: device name is `cdrom'
eject: expanded name is `/dev/cdrom'
eject: `/dev/cdrom' is a link to `/dev/scd0'
eject: `/dev/scd0' is not mounted
eject: `/dev/scd0' is not a mount point
eject: `/dev/scd0' is not a multipartition device
eject: trying to eject `/dev/scd0' using CD-ROM eject command
eject: CD-ROM eject command failed
eject: trying to eject `/dev/scd0' using SCSI commands
eject: SCSI eject succeeded

Hi filmil,

I'm running kernel 2.6.22.9-91.fc7 and am a complete Noob with linux but i guess that if you selected the same packages as i did as a temp solution if u go to

System, Preferences, Personal, Keyboard Shortcuts

Theres a media-button-shortcut-assignment section where u can make an eject keyboard shortcut up. Sounds like the problem is more embedded than the button tho so that may not help. I also noticed in the package installer there was an optional package for Dell laptops but i dont know if it would suit yours,

Sorry i cant be more useful :>(

Problem is, CD used to (FC6) work just fine, eject and all. This is a very new problem. Unfortunately it is not that the keyboard shortcut for eject is missing. But I am unsure what is.
