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

[RESOLVED]

Sorry to have raised this as a bug. I was able to find the solution in the Udev How-to: the udev.rules modifications should be placed in a file (such as 00-myudev.rules). I've done just this and everything works as advertised. (On the other hand, just placing the new rules in udev.rules worked fine before, but that may have been just dumb luck.)
