Comment 1 James Laska 2010-03-01 13:35:53 UTC 
= Additional information =

From tty2, I can successfully eject the disc by typing: 

# eject /dev/cdrom
Comment 2 James Laska 2010-03-01 13:39:47 UTC 
= Tested workaround =
1) change to tty2
2) type: eject /dev/cdrom
3) insert next disc
4) type: mount -o ro /dev/cdrom /mnt/source
5) Return to tty6
6) Select OK to proceed with install

NOTE: step#4 was required, for some reason anaconda wouldn't continue the install unless I manually mounted the next ISO
Comment 3 Chris Lumens 2010-03-01 23:03:22 UTC 
What about if you flip to tty2 and instead:

PYTHONPATH=/usr/lib/anaconda python
>>> import _isys
>>> import os
>>> fd = os.open("/dev/sr0", os.RD_ONLY|os.NONBLOCK)
>>> _isys.ejectcdrom(fd)
Comment 4 James Laska 2010-03-02 14:02:58 UTC 
Figures, when retesting ... the problem did not occur.  I'll continue testing ...
Comment 5 James Laska 2010-03-02 14:54:53 UTC 
Reproduced, the problem surfaces only when you mediacheck the disc in loader.  The suggestion in comment#3 does not resolve the issue.

>>> _isys.ejectcdrom(fd) 
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
SystemError: (5, 'Input/output error')
Comment 6 Chris Lumens 2010-03-02 15:04:03 UTC 
Well, the point of the suggestion in comment #3 was to isolate that it was the same code anaconda's using that causes the problem without involving all of anaconda.
Comment 7 James Laska 2010-03-02 15:29:04 UTC 
Moving to F13Beta per point#3 of the Beta release criteria (https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_13_Beta_Release_Criteria#Beta_Release_Requirements)
Comment 8 James Laska 2010-03-02 15:33:15 UTC 
Documented known issue and workaround for Alpha users at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Common_F13_bugs#failure-to-eject-cdrom
Comment 9 Hans de Goede 2010-03-08 10:48:00 UTC 
James,

I've taken a quick look at what the eject command does differently,
Can you try some python code on tty2 again, but this time this one:

PYTHONPATH=/usr/lib/anaconda python
>>> import _isys
>>> import os
>>> fd = os.open("/dev/sr0", os.O_RDWR|os.O_NONBLOCK)
>>> _isys.ejectcdrom(fd)    

And can you also run eject in verbose mode:
eject -v /dev/sr0

Thanks,

Hans
Comment 10 Chris Lumens 2010-03-09 14:15:27 UTC 
Hans - I already asked him to do that.  Please see comment #3 and comment #5.

> Hans - I already asked him to do that.  Please see comment #3 and comment #5.    

Chris,

Look closer:
1) My python code has other open flags (the same as the eject binary uses)
2) The eject command I gave has a "-v"

James,

Could you please provide the info I requested in comment #9. Note that it would be good to have the output of both when booted with and without mediacheck.

Thanks,

Hans

Due to further hal-ectomy changes during the F-13-Alpha release process, the bits released as F-13-Alpha no longer have the 'eject' binary available.

I have copied the /usr/sbin/eject binary from the F13 eject package and run it on the system.

= with mediacheck =

# eject -v -v -v /dev/cdrom 
/tmp/eject: device name is `/dev/cdrom'
/tmp/eject: expanded name is `/dev/cdrom'
/tmp/eject: `/dev/cdrom' is a link to `/dev/sr0'
/tmp/eject: `/dev/sr0' is mounted at `/mnt/source'
/tmp/eject: checking if device "/dev/sr0" has a removable or hotpluggable flag
/tmp/eject: unmounting device `/dev/sr0' from `/mnt/source'
/tmp/eject: `/dev/sr0' is not a multipartition device
/tmp/eject: trying to eject `/dev/sr0' using CD-ROM eject command
/tmp/eject: CD-ROM eject command failed
/tmp/eject: trying to eject `/dev/sr0' using SCSI commands
/tmp/eject: SCSI eject succeeded


= without mediacheck =

# eject -v -v -v /dev/cdrom 
/tmp/eject: device name is `/dev/cdrom'
/tmp/eject: expanded name is `/dev/cdrom'
/tmp/eject: `/dev/cdrom' is a link to `/dev/sr0'
