I've read in the udev FAQ that this is the right place for talking and asking about udev problems, if not please tell me the right place to send my question. here is the thing, in my /etc/udev/rules.d, I've set up something like BUS="ide", KERNEL="hd[b-z]", SYSFS{removable}="1", NAME="%k", SYMLINK="cdroms/cdrom%e" as it is advised in some docs. Now the problem is it doesn't work: for example hdb (a cdrom) creates a /dev/cdroms/cdrom symlink pointing to hdb and hdc (another cdrom reader) also creates the same symlink later which is pointing to hdc this time. The only way I've found to distinguish between the two cdroms is with the %b switch but I really want to use the %e. I use udev version 0.50 and I've got the newest hotplug package. any idea what is going wrong?
