I mentioned this here on 11 June.

I now get the same behaviour on Ultra 5 using
Linux 2.6.30-1-sparc64 #1 Wed Jul 8 01:18:17 UTC 2009 sparc GNU/Linux

and on Ultra 60 with SCSI DVD using
Linux 2.6.29-2-sparc64-smp #1 SMP Mon May 18 04:44:18 UTC 2009 sparc GNU/Linux
$ eject [no CD in tray]
eject: unable to open `/dev/scd0'

This all works fine on both machines using 2.6.26 and with
kernel 2.6.30 on x86.

Anyone else?
