Has anyone managed to get multiple CD/DVD units to work with sys-fs/udev-103,
all I get is

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 2007-01-04 12:41 /dev/cdrom -> hdb
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 2007-01-04 12:41 /dev/cdrom1 -> hdb
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 2007-01-04 12:41 /dev/cdrw -> hdb
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 2007-01-04 12:41 /dev/cdrw1 -> hdb
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 2007-01-04 12:41 /dev/dvd -> hdb
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 2007-01-04 12:41 /dev/dvd1 -> hdb
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 2007-01-04 12:41 /dev/dvdrw -> hdb
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 2007-01-04 12:41 /dev/dvdrw1 -> hdb

For those who haven't managed to guess, I have two DVD-units connected to my
machine. It feels like the only way would to downgrade udev, anyone who for
sure remembers which version worked with multiple CD/DVD units?

You still have the same trouble with udev.

Either you have some luck with the udev or you have some custom rules, there
seems toe be talk about this trouble at the slow forums and bugzilla and it's
not only Gentoo that seems to suffer from this and the trouble is there
regardless of ide, ide-scsi/scis devices.

Anyway found a fix that works in debian, at least it now makes right links and
generates some error messages during boot-up.
