Gave that a shot, the file is not recreated.  Also, I checked into /sys and 
could not find an entry that would correspond to the Asus cd/dvd.  Since the 
system only creates sda and not sdb or sdc, I wonder if the kernel is only 
detecting the harddrive unit and not the cd/dvd unit and therefore udev will 
not create the files.
*****************
It just occurred to me that I have a Plextor external/usb dvd unit.  I plugged 
it in and the system recognized the device and created /dev/cdrom.  So, it 
seems it is an issue with the kernel.  The system was working before with 
UbuntuStudio and Gutsy, so something broke with the upgrade.
