This indeed is a problem. I am not sure why suddenly Ubuntu started recognizing my internal CD drive as SATA drive instead of IDE. So it now creates a scd0 device and cdrom1 symlink. I was wondering why mplayer was causing me problem while playing VCD. When I changed the device setting in mplayer to /dev/cdrom1 and it worked fine.
On a side note Hardy is also recognizes my hard disk as SATA even though it is IDE. Please find attached the rules file requested.
