Thanks for your report, but ...
1) F14 is EOL for few months, so please recheck with the later Fedora release (therefore do not expect any updates in the bugzilla about ATI drivers)

2) coreutils package has nothing to do with your issue. From your description (as you are using GUI way of opening CD/DVD ROM), I expect that the component will be Nautilus (if you are using Gnome)... reassigning there (but Tomas will close it unless you check the later Fedora)

As a workaround, you could probably use command line utility called eject (separate package in F14 and in future probably part of util-linux). If it doesn't help, with your issue, it could be problem of the disc driver.

Thanks for your quick analysis. I have just upgraded to fedora 16 and the problem persists. 

In tried eject and that works. A work around is fine for me. Though a novice computer user would like this fixed. Probably the fedora team have higher priorities. 

You are right coreutils has nothing to do with this. There should be an option for people who do not have enough knowledge to categorize a bug. Such as "unknown" type.

Thanks for the feedback, changing version to Fedora 16...

Comment 4 Fedora End Of Life 2013-01-16 18:41:08 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 16 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 16. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '16'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 16's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 16 is end of life. If you 
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on 
"Clone This Bug" and open it against that version of Fedora.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here:

Comment 5 Fedora End Of Life 2013-02-13 22:48:54 UTC
Fedora 16 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2013-02-12. Fedora 16 is 
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further 
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of 
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
