From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9) Gecko/2008061712 Fedora/3.0-1.fc9 Firefox/3.0 Description of problem: When you have a cdrom on scsi bus, than udev renames the device from sr* to scd*. This behaviour leads to bugs. For example in /proc/sys/dev/cdrom/info is still sr* as the device name. So, "$ eject -X" ends with an error message etc. Kernel identify the device as sr0. $ dmesg | grep sr sr0: scsi3-mmc drive: 188x/24x writer dvd-ram cd/rw xa/form2 cdda pop-up sr 3:0:0:0: Attached scsi CD-ROM sr0 udev rename the device to scd0 /etc/udev/rules.d/50-udev.rules # rename sr* to scd* KERNEL=="sr[0-9]*", BUS=="scsi", NAME="scd%n" instead renaming there should be symlinking KERNEL=="sr[0-9]*", BUS=="scsi", SYMLINK+="scd%n" Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): udev-095-14.16.el5, eject-2.1.5-4.2.el5 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Have a PC with a cdrom on scsi bus 2.boot the PC 3.ll /dev/cdrom Actual Results: the symlink /dev/cdrom points to /dev/scd0 Expected Results: the symlink /dev/cdrom points to /dev/sr0 Additional info:

On rhel-5.10 I see in /etc/udev/rules.d/50-udev.rules following: # rename sr* to scd* KERNEL=="sr[0-9]*", BUS=="scsi", SYMLINK+="scd%n" This has been fixed along side other bugzillas by commit 52f47b4b but somehow slipped through the cracks and did get to errata. I think we can *close* this BZ.
