AFAICS the same bug is reported here:
http://www.spinics.net/lists/hotplug/msg02501.html

So, the problem seems to be that since version 143, udev doesn't put the IDE 
device numbers in ID_PATH.
Then, if a few IDE devices belong to the same PCI ID (as can be seen in the 
70-persistent-cd.rules files from the affected people), they can't be 
differentiated by udev anymore, breaking the persistance.

I have the problem too, resulting in wrong symlinks, varying everytime (or 
sometimes) udev is restarted.
I tried udev-141 from Ubuntu, which (as I expected) _does_ put the IDE 
information in ID_PATH, which makes correct symlinks in /dev.

If you use libata (instead of the old BLK_DEV_IDE drivers), you wouldn't be 
affected, I guess.
And I assume that if you put your 2 CD drives on different IDE channels, there 
would be no problem too because the PCI IDs would be different.

Greetings,
Gert Robben
