Sorry.. forgot to include that as well. Here's my lsmod output
revelant to the problem, at the time of it happening:

ide-cd 26816 0 (autoclean)
sr_mod 13524 0 (autoclean) (unused)
cdrom 29344 0 (autoclean) [ide-cd sr_mod]
scsi_mod 71544 1 (autoclean) [sr_mod]

I manually tried the CD drive's eject button, and of course, it didn't
work. The kernel hadn't freed up the device, so there's no reason why it
wouldn't have worked.
