FC3 disappointment: KsCD locks system; grip; CDROM in general.

Is this related: From 2.6.10-rc2 changelog:

<teanropo at cc.jyu.fi>
        [PATCH] Don't initialize /dev/pg0 to be always busy
        
        Without this patch my HP CD-Writer doesn't work.
        With this applied everything is fine.

I get a drive busy error whenever I try to mount.
