Okay, well assuming that you are using ide-scsi emulation for your DVD device, then /dev/hdc would probably not work. The actual device would probably be listed in fstab as /dev/scd0 or something along that line. Have you tried to actually issue a mount /mnt/cdrom to see if that works. If so, it would confirm that the drive is not mounted, if you get an error, it might help to troubleshoot the problem. Do you happen to have a copy of the fstab that I could look at, especially the line related to the dvd device. Also, just off hand, have you tried restarting to eliminate an actual hardware fault on the dvd device? In other words, restart Linux and see if the eject button works while the OS is not active. If we confirm that there is no hardware problem, we can then try to figure out why the eject command is not working. Sometimes eliminating possibilities is the quickest path to a solution. -- Bryan Phinney Software Test Engineer
