It seems devfsd has an annoying "feature". I bought a PCI card to get a couple (2) more serial ports. The kernel doesn't seem to set up the serial ports at boot, so devfs never creates an entry. However, post boot, since there is no entries, I cannot configure the serial ports with setserial. So basically devfsd = no PCI based serial add on?
Yep. This I pointed this out as a flaw to devfs a long, long time (years!) ago, but Richard chose not to listen to me. Personally, I solve this (and other) problems by simply refusing to use devfs.
Ted,
Will Bryan get the proper devfs entries if he patches serial.c to recognize his card at kernel initialization, or is there more weirdness expected?
Best regards, Ed
