Hmm. This certainly looks like a problem. It may be specific to your hardware since I havn't seen this problem reported before. I _am_ aware of a problem where certain CD players that do not have a tray (such as my NEC-251 changer) fail to close the tray (because they have no tray to close) and ATAPI rev 2.6 doesn't seem to have a way to specify whether this capability exists...
You problem looks different though. It looks as if your drive is telling us that the tray is _open_ when in fact the tray is closed. This is very strange indeed. It either means that you have bad hardware, or else I screwed up ide-cd somehow. I know that ide-cd works for me, so (and I hope you don't mind I am copying this to linux-kernel) I would like to see if anybody else is seeing this.
Anybody else seeing this?

p.s. I am out of town right now (again) trying to get a machine ready to ship. As soon as I return home (back to my Linux box) I'll look into this problem to see if I screwed up ide-cd somehow.
