[gentoo-user] something keeps incrementing links to CD and..

Hi group,

By way of addendum to my earlier post on udev rules
and my CD and DVD drives, /dev/hdc and /dev/hdd.

At first the drives were'nt found then modprobeing
ide-generic.ko fixed that. But the links under /dev to
the drives were being mysteriously incremented. So
ide-generic was compiled with the kernel. Didn't work.

<...>
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 May 10 05:35
cdrom4 -> hdc
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 May 10 05:35
cdrom5 -> hdd
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 May 10 05:35 cdrw4
-> hdc
crw------- 1 root tty 5, 1 May 10 11:36
console
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 11 May 10 05:35 core

drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 100 May 10 05:35 disk
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 May 10 11:36 dsp
-> sound/dsp
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 May 10 05:35 dvd5
-> hdd
<...>

Every time I boot the links are incremented and the
optical drives don't work. Floppy and SATA hdd OK.

Here's /etc/rules.d/*cd*:


# This file was automatically generated by the
/lib/udev/write_cd_rules

ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="block",
ENV{ID_CDROM}=="?*", ENV{GENERATED}!="?*",
PROGRAM="write_cd_rules", SYMLINK+="%c"

I commented out the extra lines but it didn't help.

Isn't the '+=' in SYMLINK+="cdrom" computerese for
'add a one'?

FWIW, from the boot console I see something new:

Running hdparm
HDIO_SET_DMA failed Operation not permitted

for /dev/hdc and /dev/hdd

From .config the IDE stuff:

Is it that 'FORCED' thing?
