Two suggestions:

[1] Maybe this is related to the problem reported as Bug #287225 
    against udev at http://bugs.debian.org.
    If your problem is (in part) the same, you'll find a workaround in that 
    correspondence.

[2] For udev to function properly, it is often important that the relevant
    kernel module be loaded at boot time, by being listed in /etc/modules.
    For a 2.6 series kernel, you will not want ide-scsi. The relevant kernel 
    configuration option is CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDECD. If that option is configured
    as a module, it will be called ide-cd. If that is how your kernel
    is configured, maybe you should include ide-cd as a line in /etc/modules?
