Hi, I'm running LM10 Community on an Inspiron 9100. A fresh install is working 98%. However, the cdrom does not seem to want to let go of any cdrom once I view it's contents in Konq. As root, I get the error....
umount: /mnt/cdrom: device is busy
It seems that supermount may not be operating correctly. fstab follows....

Does anything seem out of place?
I vaguely remember the problem. What does "eject cdrom" (as root) give you ?
You fstab looks fine to me. But recently I had a mount problem, found something on the net and removed the "noatime". Worked fine since then. Theoretically the noatime option should improve speed and I/O operations, since access time stamps are seldom needed, but I can't see any difference.

lsof /dev/hdc
will tell you what is holding onto the device
and more than likely it will be fam
kill it and you will get back control of you CDROM
I have disabled fam on my systems, because it oversteps the mark.
