[gentoo-user] udev issue? (No /dev/cdroms/XXX on two machines)

[Mark Knecht <markknecht@gmail.com>]

Hi,
   It seems that on two of my machines, after recent updates, I no
longer have /dev/cdroms and therefore cannot mount CDs, etc. I can
mount them by hand using the old style /dev/hda. The hardware works.
It just seems that udev is now doing something different.

   Has anyone else seen this of late?

   I am set up as "auto" for the udev/devfs choice in /etc/conf.d/rc,
as well as not using a tarball. udev is up and running:

gigastudio ~ # ps aux | grep udev
root       854  0.0  0.0   1468   484 ?        S<s  10:30   0:00 udevd
gigastudio ~ #

gigastudio ~ # emerge -pv udev

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Calculating dependencies ...done!
[ebuild     U ] sys-fs/udev-068-r1 [068] (-selinux) -static 0 kB

Total size of downloads: 0 kB
gigastudio ~ #

   Any ideas why this might happen and where I'd look to solve the problem?

   All machines have been rebooted, etc.

Thanks,
Mark
