There is no /dev/hdc1. I have DVD-ROM as /dev/hdc. # dmesg block2mtd: version $Revision: 1.30 $ block2mtd: error: cannot open device /dev/hdc1 Looks right, but tray is locked. And it doesn't want to get out. # eject hdc: irq timeout: status=0xd0 { Busy } ide: failed opcode was: unknown WARNING: at kernel/irq/resend.c:70 check_irq_resend() [<c013444b>] check_irq_resend+0xab/0xc0 [<c0133e2a>] enable_irq+0x4a/0xa0 [<c02c26e7>] ide_error+0x47/0xa0 [<c02d1e60>] cdrom_newpc_intr+0x0/0x300 [<c02c2bc0>] ide_timer_expiry+0x1e0/0x2d0 [<c02c29e0>] ide_timer_expiry+0x0/0x2d0 [<c011b986>] run_timer_softirq+0x116/0x160 [<c0127e75>] hrtimer_interrupt+0x165/0x1a0 [<c0118772>] __do_softirq+0x42/0x90 [<c01187e6>] do_softirq+0x26/0x30 [<c0118aaa>] irq_exit+0x5a/0x60 [<c0104817>] do_IRQ+0x47/0x80 [<c0102c23>] common_interrupt+0x23/0x30 [<c0281a46>] acpi_processor_idle+0x162/0x380 [<c0100d0e>] cpu_idle+0x4e/0x70 [<c0524ac5>] start_kernel+0x1f5/0x240 [<c05243a0>] unknown_bootoption+0x0/0x1e0 ======================= Removing bdput from do_open() in fs/block_dev.c seems to be a cure for irq timeout.
