You sent your udev persistent-cd.rules file, but it is a little bit confusing. How many physical drives have you? It seems that the same drive has 2 different "pci addresses": # DVD-RW_DVR-111 (pci-0000:03:00.1-scsi-0:0:0:0) and # DVD-RW_DVR-111 (pci-0000:02:00.0-scsi-0:0:0:0) Did you try to generate a new one with the command: udevtest /sys/block/sr0 (keep the old one.... in case) I have done this on a Dell laptop where the problem occured and here is the file generated: # DVD+-RW_GSA-T21N (pci-0000:00:14.1-scsi-0:0:0:0) SUBSYSTEM=="block", ENV{ID_CDROM}=="?*", ENV{ID_PATH}=="pci-0000:00:14.1-scsi-0:0:0:0", SYMLINK+="cdrom", ENV{GENERATED}="1" SUBSYSTEM=="block", ENV{ID_CDROM}=="?*", ENV{ID_PATH}=="pci-0000:00:14.1-scsi-0:0:0:0", SYMLINK+="cdrw", ENV{GENERATED}="1" SUBSYSTEM=="block", ENV{ID_CDROM}=="?*", ENV{ID_PATH}=="pci-0000:00:14.1-scsi-0:0:0:0", SYMLINK+="dvd", ENV{GENERATED}="1" SUBSYSTEM=="block", ENV{ID_CDROM}=="?*", ENV{ID_PATH}=="pci-0000:00:14.1-scsi-0:0:0:0", SYMLINK+="dvdrw", ENV{GENERATED}="1" Try too, lspci and lshw to get some information about the bus etc. Hope this help. - -- François Patte UFR de mathématiques et informatique Université Paris Descartes 45, rue des Saints Pères F-75270 Paris Cedex 06 Tél. +33 (0)1 4286 2145 http://www.math-info.univ-paris5.fr/~patte -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Fedora - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAkvBpZMACgkQdE6C2dhV2JW18gCfRRgDwKZq2R5hZFfSYZsefi/N TK8AoJyyeJNDYG45JqRq8ZRUvIx6A1Qu =lozP -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
