UPDATE: I have udev started at boot with hotplug, dbus-1, gnome-volume-manager. Now when I turn on the external firewire burner udev creates a sr0 and then after using it I turn off the unit (it is a really noisy Lacie) and then I turn it back on to use it again and udev creates the sr0 again but after doing this a couple of times with any firewire device, udev stops creating the block devices like it is telling me I used up my limit and will not work again for me until I reboot. Last night I got every thing working burning a cd with nautulis but after doing nothing to the system it on its own deciceds not to work. It is like udev puts time limits I can get things to work here and there but for some reason, which I can't find out, it does not work again. -adam
