Description
The "7.4. Device and Module Handling on an LFS System" section says:
7.4.3.4. Udev creates a device incorrectly, or makes a wrong symlink
This usually happens if a rule unexpectedly matches a device. For example, a poorly-writen rule can match both a SCSI disk (as desired) and the corresponding SCSI generic device (incorrectly) by vendor. Increase the logging verbosity of Udev, find the offending rule by examining the logs and make it more specific.
Exactly this happened just now on my system with the generated rules for CD-ROM aliases.

Oh, once again workarounds are being proposed instead of the real solution (add SUBSYSTEM=="block" to the rule). I demand immediate removal of udev from LFS on the basis that nobody understands it.

If we use the updated udev rules Alexander created here:
http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/~alexander/udev-config/udev-config-20060607-try2.tar.bz2
Then the cdrom rules are moved to contrib/ and not installed by default. Then a note could be made on the udev page and/or Ch. 7.4 to use the contributed cdrom alias rules with caution.
