Well, I don't know what has changed since yesterday but there is an even worse problem after booting with media in the drive. As I said, I can consistently automount media, and unmount/eject it via nautilus, but only until I close the drive with no media in it.

Once I close the drive with no media in it it is locked shut. The physical eject button doesn't work, and even the command line eject doesn't work. I tried:

eject /media/cdrom0
eject /media/cdrom
sudo eject /media/cdrom0
sudo eject /media/cdrom

No errors are output and the commands complete without delay, however the drive remains locked until I reboot. After reboot the physical eject button works again whether I have media in it or not. Perhaps you need logs to see what's happening when I boot with media in the drive? If so please let me know.

And by the way, whenever media isn't in the drive all ODD icons disappear from nautilus so there is no way to try and eject it from there.
