The default udev rules for CD/DVD devices usually pick this up, but you could try creating a file /etc/udev/rules.d/10-custom.rules containing: BUS="ide", KERNEL="hdX", NAME="%k", SYMLINK="dvd cdrom" Replace "hdX" with the device name that you point your symlinks at, which from your Subject: would appear to be "hda".
