Hi, after following your tips the code gets like the following one:

SUBSYSTEM=="block", ATTR{serial}=="VNVB05G2RKTRZH", NAME="hda"
SUBSYSTEM=="block", ATTR{serial}=="9QK0T4WM", NAME="sda"
SUBSYSTEM=="block", ATTR{serial}=="3QD0X58D", NAME="sdb"
SUBSYSTEM=="block", ATTR{serial}=="9QK0RS9G", NAME="sdc"
SUBSYSTEM=="block", ATTR{serial}="9VP0SBVN", NAME="sdc"

KERNEL=="hd*", SUBSYSTEM=="block", ATTR{serial}=="VNVB05G2RKTRZH",
NAME="hda%n" KERNEL=="sd*", SUBSYSTEM=="block",
ATTR{serial}=="9QK0T4WM", NAME="sda%n" KERNEL=="sd*",
SUBSYSTEM=="block", ATTR{serial}=="3QD0X58D", NAME="sdb%n"
KERNEL=="sd*", SUBSYSTEM=="block", ATTR{serial}=="9QK0RS9G",
NAME="sdc%n" KERNEL=="sd*", SUBSYSTEM=="block",
ATTR{serial}=="9VP0SBVN", NAME="sdc%n" That's not working, when i plug
more devices they get named without taking care of the rules above. Do
someone know why? thanks. i would like to be able to name devies using
its serial number. Thanks in advanced
     
Could it be that the sd* notation is somewhere hardwired in UDEV? I'd try
to give the devices different names, like NAME="myhda", and so on.

Just guessing,

This is a shot in the dark but just in case.  What did you name the 
rules file?  Is it possible that it is reading your file then reading 
another file udev generated and the last one it reads is the one that 
sets the names?  I would look to see if there is another file in the 
rules.d directory that sets the naming and then see what udev reads last.

Again, shot in the dark and this may not apply.
