I'm not sure that is a bug. As I posted earlier, this was changed a
good while back. There was a reason for it but I can't recall what it
was. The new devices for CD/DVDs is /dev/sr*. I don't have, and have
not had, /dev/cdrom or dvd on this rig for a good while and it works. I
think this happened about the same time as the hard drive devices were
changed from hd* to sd* even for old IDE drives. Since it was changed
on purpose, I don't believe this is a bug.
