Scenario: 1. /dev/cdrom is not created. 2. Eject the tray using the eject button on device, tray will open half, then close so I don't have a chance to load any disc. 3. Disc can be ejected by 'cdrecord -eject' command, however, tray can open fully but then close by itself. 4. Case 2 & 3 just happen after I log in GNOME, I can eject disc in CLI before starting GNOME, however after then they still fail to eject disc/tray. I suspect something wrong with my GNOME configuration but don't know where is it?
What does 'lspci -k' print ?

I have also seen this behavior, but had not been motivated enough to find the cause :/
Well, PIIX_IDE, /dev/hda... Isn't this a big enough hint ?
(In reply to comment #4) > Well, PIIX_IDE, /dev/hda... > Isn't this a big enough hint ? I don't think this matter too much, after all, the same kernel wasn't changed at all for long ago -- and it works well before I log into GNOME - unless there is a known issue between PIIX_IDE and GNOME.
The system where I see the same issue uses a PATA dvd drive (/dev/sr0) on a motherboard with nvidia nforce chipset (pata_amd kernel module). I really don't think this is hardware-related :)
@comment 5: no, that's a well known issue (and an upstream WONTFIX) with CONFIG_IDE and udisks. @comment 6: in such case, it's either a different problem or you have both types of the driver active and you're getting a conflict.
It looks like there is a fix for cd eject button race conditions in kernel 2.6.37 and higher, but it's enabled only under >=udev-172 (masked on Gentoo): http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/hotplug/udev.git;a=commitdiff;h=c5a41da949

You should also remember, that udev has dropped support for CONFIG_IDE a few commits earlier: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/hotplug/udev.git;a=commit;h=ecf61aa7fdb5b7e9e19f06584caee9b5eb1c7350.
Thanks for this hint, I remove the legacy IDE driver and config the ata_piix. This solve the tray eject problem, even in GNOME. Thanks for your hints!
Not sure if we could improve the visibility of this requirement to prevent more people hitting this issue :/
Add kernel config check in udisks ebuild is trivial.
(In reply to comment #12) > Add kernel config check in udisks ebuild is trivial. Nice (I was unsure about proper package to add the check ;))
fixed some year+ ago already *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 319829 ***
