I have a multi-boot system that I can boot to either Windows 98 or Linux. I have an Iomega CD/DVD ROM USB 2.0 drive. When I boot to Windows, the drive operates normally. My Linux system is Debian using kernel version 2.4.18. I have the kernel configured for USB Mass Storage support. Since the Mass Storage driver presents the USB device as a SCSI device, I also turned on SCSI CDROM support in the kernel configuration. The Linux system will recognize the drive with the correct manufacturer and part number (looking at /proc/bus/usb/devices). I can then insert a cd, mount the drive to the file system, and browse the directory that is on the cd . This is all fine and good so far. The problem is that once I have inserted a cd , the drive will not eject when I push the eject button. This is even after I have unmounted the drive from the file system. The only way I can get the cd out is to reboot to Windows and then eject it. Does anyone have any ideas on this conundrum?? Here is a snippet of my .config file. Let me know if any other info would be helpful.
