i have two burners: a dvdrw (/dev/hdc) and a cdrw (/dev/hdd). i have udev-068 installed with no customized rules. both the burners belongs to the root:root group, so i can't use them as a common-user but only by root. fctk@thorium ~ $ ls -l /dev/hdc brw-rw---- 1 root root 22, 0 4 set 2005 /dev/hdc fctk@thorium ~ $ ls -l /dev/hdd brw-rw---- 1 root root 22, 64 4 set 2005 /dev/hdd fctk@thorium ~ $ ls -l /dev/cdr* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 4 set 2005 /dev/cdrom -> hdc lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 4 set 2005 /dev/cdrom1 -> hdd lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 4 set 2005 /dev/cdrw -> hdc lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 4 set 2005 /dev/cdrw1 -> hdd fctk@thorium ~ $ ls -l /dev/dvd lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 4 set 2005 /dev/dvd -> hdc Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Portage 2.0.51.22-r2 (default-linux/x86/2005.1, gcc-3.4.4, glibc-2.3.5-r1, 2.6.12-gentoo-r6 i686) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.12-gentoo-r6 i686 AMD Sempron(tm) 2600+ Gentoo Base System version 1.6.13 ccache version 2.4 [disabled] dev-lang/python: 2.4.1-r1 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.12 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.59-r7 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6 sys-devel/binutils: 2.16.1 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.18-r1 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.11-r2 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86 ~x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CBUILD="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-Os -march=athlon-xp -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/lib/X11/xkb /usr/share/config /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/splash /etc/terminfo /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-Os -march=athlon-xp -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoconfig distlocks sandbox sfperms strict" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://www.die.unipd.it/pub/Linux/distributions/gentoo-sources/ ftp://ftp.unina.it/pub/linux/distributions/gentoo http://mirror.switch.ch/ftp/mirror/gentoo/ ftp://mirror.switch.ch/mirror/gentoo/ ftp://ftp.solnet.ch/mirror/Gentoo http://gentoo.mirror.solnet.ch" LC_ALL="it_IT.UTF-8" LINGUAS="it" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage /usr/local/bmg-main /usr/local/gentoo-de /usr/local/zugaina-portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="x86 3dnow 3dnowext alsa bash-completion cjk cups minimal mmx mmxext nls nptl nptlonly nvidia ppds sse unicode linguas_it userland_GNU kernel_linux elibc_glibc" Unset: ASFLAGS, CTARGET, LANG, LDFLAGS
I'd try running etc-update and run /sbin/udevstart (and reboot if it's still acting up). If not, attach your 50-udev.rules for us to check.
i tried running etc-update && udevstard and then rebooting, but nothing has changed.
Created attachment 67614 [details] 50-udev.rules
What is the output of both: udevtest /sys/block/hdc/ block and udevtest /sys/block/hdd/ block ?

I really have no idea why this is happening. The rule: ENV{ID_CDROM}=="?*", SYMLINK+="cdrom%e", GROUP="cdrom" in your /etc/udev/rules.d/50-udev.rules file should be setting the group to be "cdrom". You do have such a group set up, right? And you have that line in your rules file, right? As no one else is reporting this problem, and I can't duplicate it here, I really don't know what to do, sorry...
soooorryyyy.... the cdrom group didn't exist! i created it and now the devices are in the cdrom group and common users can use them without problems... sorry for having bugged you... i couldn't think it was such a simple thing...
