Sometimes the disk keeps showing up as "busy". It's a very annoying problem with Linux sometimes that even when you're not using a disk, it refuses to unmount.

One suggestion is to use the lazy unmount and then eject the CDROM. I won't recommend this, but it might work:

Code:

umount -l /mnt/cdrom

Note that I am not aware of the implications of a "lazy" unmount, but it works when I want to remove a CDROM from a drive when all else fails.

I had to manually mount the CD the first time. After that the installer didn't have any problems. Just don't let it use the auto mount the Linux installer for UT hates that. Not sure why though....
