I think that goes with the territory (udev), it's still in a state of

The /dev/dvd symlink was created but the /dev/cdrom symlink was not. The
25-lfs.rules is from UDEV-71. In my other LFS distro I have UDEV-58 and both
symlinks were created. The only difference is the use of "==" in UDEV-71 and
just "=" in UDEV-58.
I'm currently using (lines broken up for mailing)
echo 'BUS=="ide", KERNEL=="hdc", GROUP="audio",
NAME="%k", SYMLINK="cdrom dvd", MODE="0660", OPTIONS="last_rule"'
>/etc/udev/rules.d/20-media.rules
which works for me

I guess the difference is I put the multiple symlinks into a single
rule.

When I ran 'udevstart,' I had the two symlinks but /dev/hdc still had group
DISK.
This is an addition to a running system, so udev was already running ?
If that's the case, /dev/hdc has already been created with the default
root:disk ownership. I have a similar situation - I build all the av
stuff in a script fairly late in my overall build, and then add my rule
above. At that point only root can play DVDs or whatever, but on the
next boot it is fine - yes, I have belatedly taken to turning desktops
off ;-)
