Don&#39;t know if this is OS related but I&#39;ll ask anyway.<br><br>In my media server at home, running Ubuntu 10.04 LTE server edition, I&#39;m having trouble ejecting/opening the DVD tray when the machine is operating under the OS&#39;s control.  When at the BIOS menu or halted at the grub menu you can open and close the tray to your hearts content via the drive&#39;s eject button.  Once booted into the OS it becomes almost impossible to do when the drive is empty.  I&#39;ve taken to keeping an old CD in the drive as a work around as when the tray is occupied it will eject without issue, from the button or via the eject command.<br>
<br>I have tried two other drives of similar model and they behave in the same way and all three drives operate as expected when placed into a Windows box.<br><br>Of course what I don&#39;t have to hand as write this (not being in the same place as the server) is the exact model and firmware details other than to say they are Lite-on DVD-RW drives.  In all other respects they operate normally.<br clear="all">
