Description:
Simply put, the symbolic links for the following block devices point to the incorrect locations which causes mounting from /dev/cdrom etc etc to fail. Here is the output of ls -l

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 21 2009-03-26 04:42 cdrom -> /dev/cd/cdrom-2:0:0
:0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 21 2009-03-26 04:42 cdrom0 -> /dev/cd/cdrom-2:0:
0:0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 20 2009-03-26 04:42 cdrw -> /dev/cd/cdrw-2:0:0:0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 20 2009-03-26 04:42 cdrw0 -> /dev/cd/cdrw-2:0:0:

However when we go to /dev/cd/
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 6 2009-03-26 04:45 cdrom- -> ../sr0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 6 2009-03-26 04:45 cdrw- -> ../sr0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 6 2009-03-26 04:45 dvd- -> ../sr0

As you can see the files in /dev/cd/ are actually cdrom-/cdrw-/dvd- instead of cdrom/cdrw/dvd

Additional info:
* package version(s)
* config and/or log files etc.
Latest arch pacman -Syu

Note that this can be related to the following bug

However I am using the stock kernel for i686

Upgrading udev to 140-2 fixed the problem for me.
