[ale] An upgrade broke udev, I think.

Mint 13 (Ubuntu 12,.04) kernel is reported as 3.2.0-60-generic 
#91-Ubuntu SMP.
Dmesg doesn't report anything for CD insertion, but then I don't think 
it did before.

Thumb drive dmesg info looks normal.  I can mount sdd1 manually OK.

Only think in the kernel.log file that's wierd is this:
May 22 09:20:39 blackie kernel: 317.931 d1::::[d]N ahn oepg on

Same for syslog.  /media is owned by root.root and has 755 mode. There 
is a .hal-mtab-lock file in /media that was created on Feb 24.  It's 600 
mode.

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 May 22 09:20 /dev/cdrom -> sr0
That looks OK I think.
brw-rw---- 1 root cdrom 11, 0 May 22 09:20 /dev/sr0
As does that.

Just for grins, I reinstalled the udisks package, no help.
