I've just upgraded my kernel from 2.6.12. to 2.6.15 (Debian releases). In doing so, I now find udev managing mydev. Previously I used devfs.

Upon rebooting into the new kernel, the symlinks fordev-cdrom,dev-cdrw,dev-dvd anddev-dvdrw all point todev-vcc-a7

# ldev-dvd*dev-cdromdev-cdrw

The drives in question are both ATAPI drives, and appear to have correctdev-hdcd symlinks:

# ldev-hdcdev-hdd

(the first (hdc) is a cd-rewriter, the second (hdd) a dvd-rewriter).

Some background:

Previously, I used SCSI emulation for the two drives, by using

image=-boot-vmlinuz label=Linux initrd=-boot-initrd.img append="hdc=ide-scsi hdd=ide-scsi devfs=mount" read-only

inetc-lilo.conf. Prior to upgrading my kernel, I removed the "append" line, as I understand now that using SCSI emulation is not supported anymore (or at least deprecated); I also made sure to re-run lilo.

Could anyone help explain what's going on here? How can I fix things so that mydev-cd* anddev-dvd* symlinks point to the correct devices?
