Also wondering, if this isn't a kernel issue then why does 70-persistent-cd.rules get generated if it's missing under kernel 3.2.29, but under 3.6.7 it does not?<div class="gmail_extra"><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

Using udevadm as you suggested yielded some interesting results. Under kernel 3.6.7 70-persistent-cd.rules does in fact get loaded, however ID_PATH is no longer exported, which is what 70-persistent-cd.rules uses to identify the DVD-ROM on my system. While I am able to get udev working properly with ENV{ID_SERIAL_SHORT}, I was wondering if the lack of ID_PATH is because of a turned off option in the kernel or the removal of it?<div class="HOEnZb">

</div>Yes, it should still work. Just new devices would not be automatically added.<br>
<br>
Newer udev versions dropped all persistent rule generators, we will<br>
not create any system config from device hotplug handlers anymore. It<br>
turned out to be the wrong thing and it created more problems than it<br>
solved.<br>
<br>
Regarding the initial question, there are no known kernel changes<br>
which would make these rules not work anymore. The only reports so far<br>
are from people who somehow enabled IDE drivers (/dev/hda) instead of<br>
libata (/dev/sr0), which will not work with the rules.<br>
<br>
You might want to check with:<br>
udevadm test /sys/class/block/sr0<br>
if it tells what's going wrong.<br>
