udev-197-r3 gave me this postinstall warning: Upstream has removed the persistent-cd rules generator. If you need persistent names for these devices, place udev rules for them in /etc/udev/rules.d.
Well, I have had such a rule for a long time, and it worked ok until I installed udev-197, which seems to be ignoring it. I'm at a loss to see what's wrong. Here's /etc/udev/rules.d/12-opticaldrive.rules, just one line: KERNEL=="sr0", SUBSYSTEM=="block", NAME="opticaldrive", SYMLINK+="%k", SYMLINK+="cdrom", SYMLINK+="cdrw", SYMLINK+="dvd", SYMLINK+="dvdrom", SYMLINK+="dvdrw" And here's the first part of udevadm info for the device: looking at device '/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1f.2/ata2/host1/target1:0:0/1:0:0:0/block/sr0': KERNEL=="sr0" SUBSYSTEM=="block" DRIVER=="" ATTR{ro}=="0" ATTR{size}=="4" ATTR{stat}==" 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0" ATTR{range}=="1" ATTR{discard_alignment}=="0" ATTR{events}=="media_change eject_request" ATTR{ext_range}=="1" ATTR{events_poll_msecs}=="-1" ATTR{alignment_offset}=="0" ATTR{inflight}==" 0 0" ATTR{removable}=="1" ATTR{capability}=="119" ATTR{events_async}==""
