Did you try exiting from all konqueror instances first?
You're _not_ using supermount. 'auto' in your fstab for this
device means auto file system detection, not auto mount.
Somethin is holding on to the device. Run 'lsof /mnt/cdrom' to
find out. (You might have to 'urpmi lsof' first). If lsof just
returns to a prompt, nothin is using /mnt/cdrom at that time.
FWIW, I don't remember when 'magicdev' began, or whether 10.0
used it. See if '/usr/bin/magicdev' is present by running
'which magicdev'. I've had some intermittent problems with CD
drives being 'busy', usually after somethin like ripping a DVD
with dvd:rip. 'fam' (an xinitd process) is most often the
culprit. Since it's not a separate service, you'll need to kill
it's pid. It will still run again 'on request'.
I hate to say it, but sometimes only a reboot will free the CD
drive. Magic device in 10.1 is better, but still has occasional
glitches like yours.
