49 +<p>
50 +Recent versions of udev (104 and up) along with newer kernel versions (2.6.19
51 +and up) may change your disc device names, due to a change in the kernel's
52 +libata implementation. A CD-RW device at <path>/dev/hdc</path> may be changed to
53 +<path>/dev/sr0</path>. While this is not normally a problem, it may cause issues
54 +for some applications that are hardcoded to look for devices at other locations.
55 +For example, <c>media-sound/rip</c> expects to find discs at
56 +<path>/dev/cdrom</path>, which becomes a problem if you use a newer kernel and
57 +udev renames your device to <path>/dev/cdrom1</path>.
58 +</p>
59 +
60 +<p>
61 +To work around these issues, you must edit
62 +<path>/etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-cd.rules</path> and assign the correct
63 +name to the device.
64 +</p>

68 +link="http://www.reactivated.net/udevrules.php">guide</uri>.
