ttyS0 help mee

this is devfs in the process. They are trying to switch over slowly by keeping the links to /dev/ttyS[1,2]

ok so what does this mean that eventually there will be a link???

**Dolda2000** · 02-25-2003

Don't worry, edman. It will work the way you have it.
But wassy, you can't mean that mandrake is running devfs? Isn't it still experimental? Also, in that case he couldn't have created a new (persistant) inode on it with mknod in that case, right?

so is ttyS1 my com1?

**Dolda2000** · 02-25-2003

Nope, ttyS1 is your COM2.
ttyS? is zero-based, while COM? is one-based.

so what is my com1?

**Dolda2000** · 02-25-2003

ttyS0

**edman1982** · 02-25-2003

i checked my dev and now i have a file ttyS0- whats that???

**Dolda2000** · 02-25-2003

Check with "ls -l /dev/ttyS0-". Are you sure that you didn't just hit 0- instead of just 0 when you created ttyS0?

Dolda: I got those too when doing my LFS system, I think it was an error with the MAKEDEV script or something, really weird.
