 |
|
Hello, I have a small problem with my computer.
Whenever I press the eject button on my cd drive, the tray comes out, but it goes back in right afterwards. This problem seems to occur only when hal is running, so I think that it is a problem related to hal.
How do I fix this? I have to fight with my drive every time I open it to keep it from going back in.
BTW, this is my first forum post that I have ever made, please tell me if I did something that I am not supposed to do. |

| After running eject, the same thing happens: the tray comes out, then it goes back in. (Also, this problem only happens if there is a disc in the drive.) |

Strange, i'm having exactly the same problem.
Did you find a fix for this issue?

| Having the same problem here; additionally, pressing the eject button on the drive doesn't actually eject it--the disk is just reread as if it was reinserted. I have hal 0.5.11-r1 and am running gentoo-sources-2.6.25-r4. hdparm reports my drive is a " _NEC DVD_RW ND-3550A". I don't know what other information to post, really.... Does hald produce any logging? |

Both of you - Boot your computers, go into the BIOS or PAUSE the BIOS POST during the memory check, then eject your drive's trays.
If the problems still happen, your drives are broken; Possibly the cheap tray sensor switch is broken/jammed. |

probably not hardware, I've never seen this happen in hardware.
If anyone knows hal, they could solve the problem...
