- Hi...
-
- I'm in a little panic'd situation here and could really
- use a little help.
-
- I just took the plunge and installed this on my main
- system. I have an AST board on it for communications, and after
- recomiling the kernel, it is recognized.
-
- Now, the problem. It is recognizing it as:
-
- /dev/ttys8 -> /dev/ttys11
-
- but there are no such devices :(
-
- Now, I'm presuming that I have to mknod them then? I tried,
- but seeing as I don't know much about mknod and major/minor numbers,
- don't think I was successful :( What I tried was:
-
-
- mknod /dev/ttys11 c 4 75
-
- to access the port with the 16550 chip on it, to no avail.
- I got the '75' from just counting up from where ttys3 leaves off.
-
- If someone can help me with this, it would be muchly
- appreciated...or even give me an indication of how to figure out the
- minor number.
-
- Thanks...
-
- Marc
