Martin Pitt,
I ran the commands to stop and start HAL. With HAL stopped my tray will stay out when ejected, with HAL running my tray goes out and right back in when ejected.

I have an LG GH22NS30 SATA DVD burner. The drive firmware is a the current version. I have applied all the udev fixes mentioned with no success. I also cannot burn DVD's successfully but I can play DVD's and read and burn CD's.

I came across a thread on Ubuntu Forums from 06/12/08 which suggested adding "all_generic_ide" to the end of the kernel line in /boot/grub/menu.lst to resolve a SATA drivers issue. This fixed my tray issue and allowed me the burn DVD's but my drive transfer rates dropped.
