Message-Id: <42AEB0F7.6070402@sara.nl> List-Id: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To: linux-hotplug@vger.kernel.org Hello, I've got a system with one serial port on the motherboard and four other ports on two PCI slots (2 each) The kernel detects these as ttyS0 (onboard), ttyS14/S15 (1st PCI card) and ttyS47/S48 (2nd PCI card). We've got some pretty old proprietary software that insists on using ttyS0-3, so I thought I'd just symlink the higher ports. I've made a rules file with the following: KERNEL="ttyS14", SYMLINK="ttyS1" KERNEL="ttyS15", SYMLINK="ttyS2" KERNEL="ttyS47", SYMLINK="ttyS3" KERNEL="ttyS48", SYMLINK="ttyS4" This works fine with one exception: ttyS2 isn't symlinked crw-rw---- 1 root dialout 4, 64 Jun 14 10:07 /dev/ttyS0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 6 Jun 14 12:15 /dev/ttyS1 -> ttyS14 crw-rw---- 1 root dialout 4, 66 Jun 14 12:15 /dev/ttyS2 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 6 Jun 14 12:15 /dev/ttyS3 -> ttyS47 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 6 Jun 14 12:15 /dev/ttyS4 -> ttyS48 udevtest says that the rule matches and that it's creating the link. Changing the order, changing the symlink, changing SYMLINK to NAME or removing the other rules have no effect either. It just seems that this device is skipped or maybe later overridden by the original 4,66 device (udevtest doesn't say anything about it though). Anybody got ideas on this?
