Bug Description
Binary package hint: udev
I guess this is udev related.
After i upgraded my Gutsy box to Hardy i saw that my dvd device that used to be on /dev/hda was now on /dev/scd0.
And the usually default symlinks /dev/dvd, /dev/dvdrw and /dev/cdrom didn't exist instead i got this symlinks:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 2008-04-28 08:59 /dev/cdrom3 -> scd0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 2008-04-28 08:59 /dev/cdrw3 -> scd0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 2008-04-28 08:59 /dev/dvd3 -> scd0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 2008-04-28 08:59 /dev/dvdrw3 -> scd0
brw-rw----+ 1 root cdrom 11, 0 2008-04-28 10:59 /dev/scd0
I have only one dvd drive and it's master on the first IDE port. Used to be /dev/hda.
For me Kaffein and other xine program stopped work as they could not open /dev/dvd.
Tracked down the cause to this to the /etc/udev/ rules.d/ 70-persistent- cd.rules. With the upgrade to Hardy and a new kernel 00:04.0- ide-0:0 to pci-0000: 00:04.0- scsi-0: 0:0:0 so new rules was created.
my DVD drive moved from pci-0000:
Removing /etc/udev/ rules.d/ 70-persistent- cd.rules and reboot will recreate the file with default udev rules and the
cdrom, cdrw, dvd and dvdrw symlinks will be restored and pointing to the right device.
