CD-rw problems Ejecting

jklaroe · 06-19-2004, 11:02 AM

No, I got it to work and all but when I go to install UT2k4 and it asks for the next disc I can eject or unmount the disk, it says its to busy. Is there any solution to this? Last time I installed it I had to put the next disc in my dvd drive, that will eject. But even after I put the next disc in it still keeps the first disc in the cd-rw drive. If any one could point me in the right direction please go ahead....

Try using the '-l' flag when unmounting: umount -l /dev/cdrom (note - substiture /dev/cdrom with the correct one for your machine) --OR-- umount -l /mnt/cdrom (substitue the correct mount point in place of /mnt/cdrom)...................then you should be able to eject it....

you are probably working in the /mnt/cdrom dir and that is why it wont umount. try executing the install script with a "&" on the end then "cd /" after the installer has launched

edit: or copy the install script to /tmp and run it from there

Ok thanks, I'll try them and get back to you and yes I'm using /mnt/cdrw.

Thanks,
