If any window is open at all or you are in the directory you will not be able to unmount the cdrom. Sometimes I have trouble even when it doesn't look like anything should be accessing the cdrom.
I suggest you try ivman, it will automatically mount and unmount the drive for you when you put in and eject a disc.

| Code: | sys-process/lsof
lsof /mnt/cdrom |
gives you a list of the programms accesing files in /mnt/cdrom
often an instance of konqueror is running in the background, kill em all and your drive is free for umout |

use | Code: | | umount -l /mnt/cdrom |
-l Lazy unmount. Detach the filesystem from the filesystem hierar-
chy now, and cleanup all references to the filesystem as soon as
it is not busy anymore. (Requires kernel 2.4.11 or later.)
and also make sure no windows are displaying the device or that you arent cd'ed into the dir in a console |
