this reminds me heavily of a problem i have.

i can't run "eject" on my new desktop cdrom, i see the same problem
i guess.  i have to use the manual button.

it also makes my whole system kind of suck -- there's something
holding the kernel lock i guess, as it is extremely slow and has
multiple 10s of non-responsive periods before the eject times out.

i never got around to testing beyond avoiding it yet, or testing
out a different drive.  i've been using netbsd-7 on that system.

i wonder if it is some new(?) software problem or some new hardware
support issue.
