Comment 12 for bug 75074

My "eject-CD"-button (hardware-button on the desktop) doesn't work.

I have dual boot win7/ubuntu9.10.
My drives are all eSATA
BIOS is AMI v 02.67 (recent)

Eject-button works fine under windows7.

When I boot Ubuntu without a CD in the player I can't open the tray except by using a pin (not very elegant).
When I succeed in inserting a disk in the CD/DVD-player it is mounted automatically and then I can eject via software (e.g. sudo eject).

To work around this problem I always see to it that a disk is inserted while booting (or I always leave a disk in the player on exit so it is there when I boot). In this way I can always use the software eject to open the tray.

This is probably a bug and I would be very grateful if somebody could help me there.
