If you do it later then many horrible things happen as the device then "hdc=ide-cdrom" at a boot time should keep ide-scsi from binding to hdc for all cases (builtin/modular ide-cd/ide-scsi) > names and renames itself while udev goes boom. Uh? I hope that udev people are informed about these horrible things... /dev/hdc stays there all the time /dev/sr? addition/removal should be handled by udev otherwise it looks like a udev bug > Its a small clean patch and it'll solve the problem nicely until > drivers/ide dies. No strong feelings here about the patch. It is indeed a clean hack. ;) I just wanted to point out that there are already more flexible ways to achieve the same thing.
