I have Z61m and have no problems with ejecting and reloading DVD
writer.  I'm using 2.6.22-rc7-hrt1 (x86_64) on Debian.  I tried to
describe it on my wiki:

Well, this is problem if you need to hotswap.  It always appeared as
SCSI device here.  But I hadn't any chance to swap disks.

I don't know but I recommend compiling everything as module (also
useful when you need to reload with parameters).

If you need any additional information about hotswapping (I don't
really recall all problems) which aren't in my wiki feel free to ask.
