Re: CD Won't eject

Every now and then my CD/DVD drive will not eject. This seems to happen
after having used K3B and closing the drive with no CD/DVD mounted. It
seems that only a reboot fixes it. Trying to type the eject /dev/cdrom
or /dev/hde command just results in zombie processes being created but the
drive never opens. Does anyone know what could be causing this problem
and how to fix it?

Thanks

Cannot help but I have this problem sometimes with my DVD drive.Also occurs
when I use YaST for software update. Other thing I noticed if I leave my
DVD (10.2 DVD)in the drive overnight The next morning the openSUSE updater
hangs until I eject the drive and reinsert the DVD. Some times it requires
the reboot you mentioned. Please post any information you get and I'll do
the same.

openSUSE 10.2 with latest updates, K3B 1.0, KDE 3.5.5 release 45.2
