Tracked down the cause to this to the /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-cd.rules. With the upgrade to Hardy and a new kernel my DVD drive moved from pci-0000:00:04.0-ide-0:0 to pci-0000:00:04.0-scsi-0:0:0:0 so new rules was created.
Removing /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-cd.rules and reboot will recreate the file with default udev rules and the cdrom, cdrw, dvd and dvdrw symlinks will be restored and pointing to the right device. ** Attachment added: "70-persistent-cd.rules after upgrade to Hardy" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/13984502/70-persistent-cd.rules -- /dev/dvd and /dev/cdrom symlink removed in Hardy https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/223534 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
