cdrom/dvd closes immediately after eject

[Jacob Emcken]

Today I upgraded to Feisty (Ubuntu - Gnome), and now my eject CD-ROM tray behaves different ( faulty :) )

When I push the eject button on the cd-drive and no CD is in the drive, the drive wont come out.
When I eject the cdrom drive with the command `eject` the tray ejects but closes immediately.... sometimes it opens and closes twice:

je@rivendell:~$ eject -v
eject: using default device `cdrom'
eject: device name is `cdrom'
eject: expanded name is `/dev/cdrom'
eject: `/dev/cdrom' is a link to `/dev/scd0'
eject: `/dev/scd0' is not mounted
eject: `/dev/scd0' is not a mount point
eject: `/dev/scd0' is not a multipartition device
eject: trying to eject `/dev/scd0' using CD-ROM eject command
eject: CD-ROM eject command failed
eject: trying to eject `/dev/scd0' using SCSI commands
eject: SCSI eject succeeded

When a CD is present I can eject the CD-ROM with the button on the computer thought it feels really slow to react (at least slower than before), but again it closes immediately.
The `eject` command and eject from ie desktop, sound-juicer all work though the damn tray just wont stay open.

I noticed when I open Places -> Computer and choose eject from there the Nautilus computer window hangs. I can't press anything within it. But the window redraws if I put a window on top of it and removes it again or swich workspace and back, so it doesn't feel totally crashed. Though I can't close it by pressing the x in the top right of the window and no menus or anything respond.

Where should I look for debug info?

This may be related to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.20/+bug/75295. I had similar problems, which were fixed by removing the evms and evms-ncurses packages.

I can comfirm that after removing the 2 packages evms and evms-ncurses my CD/DVD drive works again. Thanks

I currently have this problem on an AMD64 Debian Etch install and have never had the evms or evms-ncurses packages installed. Anyone know of other possible causes?
