        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.

                                                        BL.
