RedHat 7.0 and Gnome CDROM issue


Grrr.

Okay...Finished installing a Workstation install of Redhat 7.0. I'm using Gnome as my default desktop. The first time I placed a cdrom and a floppy in the machine, the items worked fine. If I remove a floppy or cdrom and replace it, I see the files from the previous disc. I try pressing rescan and that doesn't help. I tried deleting the icons for the cdrom and the floppy and rescanning the devices and I believe that fixed the floppy.

I placed the Redhat cd back into the drive. This was a cd that came with a book I purchased. I can't see anything on the disc at all. I can't unmount it either because it says the drive is busy.

AHHH!

Thanks,
Martin

Okay. Rebooted machine and that allowed me to see the cdrom files on the new cdrom. I tried right clicking on teh cdrom and running umount. Keeps saying the cdrom is busy. The light on the drive isn't blinking and I closed all known windows to cdrom.

waited about a minute and it still says in use.

Any ideas?

thanks.

Found out the problem. If I don't right click and umount the cdrom, it gets all screwed up until I reboot the machine. Otherwise it works fine.

Problem solved.
