IIRC:
lsof /dev/cdrom
or
fuser /dev/cdrom
and then doing a
kill -s 9 <PID of process accessing /dev/cdrom>
as root helps here.
Not being sure whether that's sane, safe, whatever. But it often helps
here.
man fuser
man lsof
IIRC:
The commands above *might* mean you're getting logged out of X at times
... not being sure ... :)
Most of the time is FAMD, or something like that, that prevents
umounting the CDROM here.
Good luck
