Public bug reported:

Hi
I have 2 Optiarc DVD Drives (DVD RW AD-7280S) connected to a SiI 3114 
controller. At boot they both show op.  When running Mint (Nadia), I can access 
them as /dev/sr0 and /dev/sr1 respectively.
But the second drive has no symlinks
cd /dev
ll | grep 'sr[01]'
yields only
cdrom -> sr0    cdrw -> sr0     dvd -> sr0 and  dvdrw -> sr0
sr0     sr1

cd disk/by-id/
ll | grep 'sr[01]'
yields
ata-Optiarc_DVD_RW_AD-7280S -> ../../sr0

cd disk/by-path/
ll | grep 'sr[01]'
yields
pci-0000:05:00.0-scsi-0:0:0:0 -> ../../sr0

When I connect one DVD drive to a different SATA controller, this changes to 
(nearly) what one expects.
cd /dev
ll | grep 'sr[01]'
yields
cdrom -> sr0    cdrw -> sr0     dvd -> sr0   and        dvdrw -> sr0
cdrom1 -> sr1   cdrw1 -> sr1    dvd1 -> sr1 and dvdrw1 -> sr1
sr0     sr1

cd disk/by-id/
ll | grep 'sr[01]'
still yields only
ata-Optiarc_DVD_RW_AD-7280S -> ../../sr0

cd disk/by-path/
ll | grep 'sr[01]'
yields
pci-0000:05:00.0-scsi-0:0:0:0 -> ../../sr0
pci-0000:04:05.0-scsi-0:0:0:0 -> ../../sr1

Obviously the 2 DVD drives interfere with each other, when on the same 
controller.
Is this caused by 
1.  ata-Optiarc_DVD_RW_AD-7280S not having something unique (a serialnr) in its 
name? Like in SAMSUNG_HD103SJS246JD1B2050
a. would this mean a bug in the (udev?) naming scheme?
2.  or is the  SiI 3114 controller the culprit?

I'm running Mint on top of Ubuntu quantal
