Jason, You should never have to reboot a Linux machine for something this trivial.
Again: lsof /media/<drive name> this will tell you what process is holding the drive hostage kill <pid number> this will remove the process and let you eject.

Another way around it is to hit ctrl + Esc to bring up the KDE System Guard (ProcessTable). Find "konqueror" and kill the process. This releases the drive so you can eject the media w/o having to reboot. I remember reading somewhere that this is a bug in SuSE KDE and killing konqueror clears it. I've had to do it on numerous occasions and it works like a charm. Zach
