OK, I made some progress. I harvested a couple more optical drives from old PC's that I'd not yet had time to look at and 20111007.1 seems to be OK, but 20111007 was junk and holds a potential to destroy optical drives.
I've also retested with that original Asus drive and it's also OK with 20111007.1 but I will not mess with 20111007 anymore, it's going in the waste bin. I'll watch for any recurrence of this with upcoming Oneiric rebuilds. Normally I wouldn't be so concerned with the cost of an optical drive or two, but 2011 has not been kind to me financially ;^) Anyway, no need for a new bug report ATM. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/283316 Title: CD-ROM tray closes automatically after eject To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/linux/+bug/283316/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
