I found a simple way to eject cdrom from %pre. When you create your bootable cd, you first unpack initrd img file and mount it. cd /mnt/initrd_mnt/etc touch fstab mknod /mnt/initrd_mnt/dev/hdc b 22 0 compile a static eject and copy eject to /mnt/initrd_mnt pack your initrd and create a bootable cd. then in your %pre script do the following : %pre /eject /dev/hdc -- Ricky
