Comment 27 for bug 280931

Ok.

So from what I've/we've gathered:

1. This always happens when trying to eject a tray with a disc on it. It doesn't matter what It contains (UDF, empty, ISO)
2. Pressing the eject button first once to eject the disc then when the tray retracts press the button again once, will keep the tray ejected.
3. Brasero's copying process doesn't work because it needs an empty disc to be inserted after eject before burning.
4. There seems to be I/O errors related to the disc drive. However I don't know if this is because of the eject problem.
5. Reinstalling from a current Ubuntu disc does not solve this problem.

I use a SATA drive on my stationary which has this problem and I have an almost identical computer with the same drive that I will test. Are you using IDE or SATA?

I don't know what more there is to do. I'm not even 100% sure this is an eject problem. This could be a kernel problem.

I'm going to try and nominate this bug but last time I checked latest was Hardy but I'm sure I missed something as Wouter Stomp has already nominated this for Intrepid.

A developer seriously needs to look at this. We need to provide as much debugging information as we can. There is a page on the Ubuntu wiki that contains information on debugging.
