Details

To add symlinks to CD-RW and DVD-RW devices, I've added the following lines to /etc/udev/rules.d/udev.rules:

# cd-rw and dvd-rw
KERNEL="hdd", NAME="hda", SYMLINK="cdroms/cdrom1 cdrom"
KERNEL="hda", NAME="hdd", SYMLINK="cdroms/cdrom0 dvd rdvd"

This worked with udev 042-1 and kernel 2.6.8, but not with kernel 2.6.9 on both SCSI (as this one) and numerous IDE machines.
This task depends upon

looks bad you read udev howto?
KERNEL="hdd", NAME="hda" ???
that cannot be the sense of udev
try to do this with other things like catching the name of the device but not only with hda that is really bad
