[newbie] can't eject cdrom

Sat, 01 Dec 2001 19:52:22 -0800 

i recently bought a pre-built pc that has generic parts.  i was able to 
install mandrake on it using the cd-r/w drive, and have been using mandrake 
with no problem.  when i want to install new software (using the mandrake 
software manager), i insert the requested cd.  mandrake then asks for 
another cd.  when i push the eject button on the cd-r/w drive, the cd won't 
eject.  when i restart the machine and push the eject button, it works. 
just not once inside of mandrake/linux.  i also have a dvd-rom drive that i 
can't seem to access.

here's the info from harddrake:

CD-ROMs:
        DVDROM 12X
                Vendor: Unknown
                Model: DVDROM 12X
                Device: /dev/hdd
                Bus Type: ATAPI/IDE

        CD-ROM BC1610IM
                Vendor: Unknown
                Model: CD-RW BC1610IM
                Device: /dev/hdc
                Bus Type: ATAPI/IDE


there's no icon on the mandrake desktop for these devices either...

please help...

thanks.
