Apologies if any of this is confused, I've just spent 2 hours altering udev rules scripts and repeatedly rebooting, and its starting to get to me.
My base system is LFS-6.1, and I've got a combi drive at /dev/hdc. The base lfs rules correctly identify this as a cd (/proc/ide/%k/media returns cdrom even if a dvd is in the drive). For xine, I want a readable /dev/dvd. The first part is creating a symlink, which is easy enough - extend the symlink field of the rule to "cdrom dvd". The second part is what is defeating me - /dev/hdc is owned by root:disk but I need it owned by root:audio (I don't use the video group because the same drive does both cd and dvd). Tried putting a rule for KERNEL="hdc" into a rules file, but neither putting it at 20 (before lfs.rules) nor 30 (after) works. My new rules file now contains the rule to create a dvd symlink - I reverted 25-lfs.rules to only create the cdrom symlink - and that part works, but by the time I log in /dev/hdc is always owned by root:disk. I've even tried commenting out the KERNEL="hd*" line in 25-lfs.rules, (my real disk devices are SATA) but hdc is still owned by root:disk. Help!
