I know. Mine is:
$ ls -l /dev/dvd*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 05-11 18:20 /dev/dvd1 -> sr1
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 05-11 18:20 /dev/dvdrw1 -> sr1

No, HW is not touched either, apart from SW. Just reboot, that's all.

So how can I get back the "dvd" symlinks instead of dvd1?
The naming convention does not seem reasonable to me: in this file,
cdrom1 is actually the 2nd cdrom, whereas dvd1 is not the 2nd but the
1st dvd device.
