cdrom link not created

cdrom link not created

I am running udev-023 on /dev


the cdrom symlink is not created by the following rule

# if this is a ide cdrom, name it the default name, and create a symlink to 
cdrom
BUS="ide", KERNEL="*[!0-9]", PROGRAM="/bin/cat /proc/ide/%k/media", 
RESULT="cdrom", NAME="%k", SYMLINK="cdrom"


but when I ran udev on /udev, it did create the link


All other devices and symlinks are ok


If I create a symlink by hand, the device works ok
# ls -l cd*
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root 3 2004-03-28 18:52 cdrom -> hdc
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root 3 2004-03-28 18:31 cdrw -> sr0

Any thoughts on this?

This rule is broken anyway, because a system may have e.g. a cd reader
and a burner.

On my system I use a standalone rule to associate a generic symlink to
the right hardware device:

BUS="ide", ID="1.0", SYMLINK="cdrom"

I think that the distribution installer should create such rules for
available devices.

May be your timezone is still wrong :)
No, please try RESULT="cdrom*". Seems we lost the newline removal before
we compare the strings.

thanks,
Kay
