Udev was creating a bunch of unnecessary items in /dev. The parallel ports were mentioned specifically along with a large number of ttyS and tty nodes. When redhat responded to the bug I found out that udev had to create the parallel port nodes itself using a rule because the parallel port module was not loading at boot time. I opened the bug to get the parallel port module to load at boot time so udev could dynamically create the nodes instead of creating 4 parallel ports when most people have (use) one. I received an email asking me to try the new fedora core 4 kernel. I have installed it and it works fine for me. The issue is udev is still creating the parallel port statically instead of dynamically. When will udev be able to dynamically create the nodes for parallel ports? Thank you for your time, Jason P.S. Does anyone know why udev creates 76 ttyS* nodes and 65 tty nodes in /dev? ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: Power Architecture Resource Center: Free content, downloads, discussions, and more. http://solutions.newsforge.com/ibmarch.tmpl _______________________________________________ Linux-hotplug-devel mailing list http://linux-hotplug.sourceforge.net Linux-hotplug-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linux-hotplug-devel
