Upon updating to kernel26-2.6.10-3 the system stops loading my internal DVD/CDROM drive. When checking devices found that /dev/cdroms device dir is missing, which breaks the references already saved on /etc/fstab

My system is configure with udev and devfs=nomount

BTW, the internal cd unit is available, the only change was its location on /dev dir. Previously it was /dev/cdroms/cdrom0, now it's /dev/dvd

Hmm, we do use /dev/cdrom and /dev/dvd now instead of /dev/cdroms/cdrom0 with udev? If so, I can go patching goobox and gnome-media again... :X

This problem only seems to occur if you have a udev rule that creates a dvd symlink or something similar. The custom dvd rule overrides the one that makes a /dev/cdroms/cdrom0 link.

You can have both symlinks by tweaking the custom rule in /dev/udev/rules.d/00.rules or whatever your rules file is called;

[jvinet@mars ~]$ cat /etc/udev/rules.d/00.rules
KERNEL="hdc", NAME="hdc", SYMLINK="dvd cdroms/cdrom0 cdrom"


A better solution would be to tweak the ide-devfs.sh script to create the dvd symlink for us. I'll try to do that.
