SubjectRe: strange behavior on multimedia eject button for cdrom
Update: The original problem is _not_ gone yet. Now it takes
just 2 seconds to eject the CD (since it is not spinning by
default), but the sound and network are still affected during
this time.

On this page

http://bugs.debian.org/370186

you can find some information to tell HAL to ignore the CD
drive.


Regards

Harri
