Bug in new Arch 2008.04-RC?

I just burned the new Arch AMD64 2008.04-RC to a CD and gave it a go on my Mac Pro.

It runs and boots!!  Quite an accomplishment since most Linux LiveCD's (including old versions of Arch) do NOT boot properly on my Mac Pro Tower.  It usually hangs with a black screen of death.

But very time I boot off the new AMD 64 2008.04-RC CD, the tray on my second DVD Burner Drive ejects during the udev probing stage.

Are others have this problem?  Is this a bug?

Rob
P.S.  The only other distro that seems to boot off this mac pro is Ubuntu Gusty and my drives do NOT open on this distro during bootup.
