CD Won't eject on Arch with KDE 3.5.5

I've tried to eject a CD using the right-click menu in Konqueror. The gear icon appears next to cursor, so KDE does respond, but the CD doesn't get ejected.

Now I've also tried the eject command from Konsole. However, the error message says eject can't find the device mounted at

/media/cellular

'cellular' is the name of the CD in the drive. I'm not used to thing being mounted at auto-created directories under media. I thought devices were all mounted under /mnt/something where 'something' is a user-created folder...

I've also modified fstab so only one icon appears for my DVD+/-RW drive. The entry looks exactly the same as before, only the type is "iso9660, udf", and there are no two separate entries for CD and DVD. (I'm not home right now, so I can't tell you the exact setup.)

The line goes something like this. The bold type is the change I made. The rest of the line may differ from the default values, but I didn't actually change anything. Just that little bit.

/dev/cdrom /mnt/cd iso9660,udf user,noauto... 0 0

That didn't work. But I've solved it.

I changed /dev/cdrom to /dev/hdc

So, now the whole line reads:

Code:

/dev/hdc /mnt/cd iso9660,udf ro,user,noauto,noexec,unhide 0 0

Thanks anyway.
