You are right. That section needs to be updated. Look in /dev/disk/by-id/. You should see a cd or dvd device. In my case, I have: disk/by-id/ata-PLDS_DVD+_-RW_DH-16A6S -> ../../sr0 If I do udevadm test /sys/block/sr0, I see LINK 'cdrom' /usr/libexec/udev/rules.d/60-cdrom_id.rules:18 does that not work for you? -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
