Does the kernel really call the device 'dvd1'? The KERNEL name is what the kernel calls the device, not the name you would like. You don't have much control over that name. It is probably whatever the /dev/ name is before you do anything. Maybe it is something like sr0? The SYMLIMK value is what you want your link called. It can be any legal name. > > udev happily ignores this rule. > I'd expect to get a /dev/cdrom symlink. > But nothing is created, even after reboot. > Any hints how to debug? -- Roger Oberholtzer OPQ Systems / Ramböll RST Ramböll Sverige AB Kapellgränd 7 P.O.
