Re: Can't eject a previously mounted CD?

[Ed Sweetman <ed.sweetman@wmich.edu>]

I'd have to say the december 17th listed changes are the culprit here. 
I'm definitely not up to figuring out what change is the bad one.  If 
any of the cdrom/ide-cd people wanna have me get some data from them 
then just tell me how.  I've tried viewing the debug output from the 
modules with no success in figuring out the problem.
