Hi , I'm also seeing the same problem unmountng the cdrom, I'm making the assumption the kernel is 2.4.8 as on the distro images, a horrible bodge to get round this is to start the cd player from the apps menu, and use the eject key...at least it allows the cd to be removed. Strangly enough it dos'nt screw the system up,, as the next cd in mounts ok.
