Serious problem with MAKEDEV and setserial command

[Samuel Jobin <sjobin@gniinc.net>]

Hi!

I have a serious problem with the MAKEDEV and setserial command.  I'm 
trying to put a lots of multimodem card into a standard linux pc 
(Slakware 8.1).  I have to associate the modem by myself with the 
setserial command.  For this, I do:

setserial /dev/ttyS20 irq 10 port 0xd000 ^auto_irq ^fourport skip_test 
autoconfig

Everything works fine.  The problem is that there's no enough ttyS.  On 
my linux box, I have ttyS1 to ttyS31, but I want more of them.

I triyed the /dev/MAKEDEV command (and I changed the group for uucp). 
The new dev was created (ttyS32).  I tried to make a setserial it and I got:

Cannot set serial info: Invalid argument

Tried a lot of time, from different method; nothing to do.  I always 
have the same error message.  I think it's my /dev/ttyS32 that doesn't 
work (because the same instruction with a ttyS that wasn't created by me 
works great).

Does somebody could help me please?  I just don't what to do.  (and yes, 
I RTFM! :)  In fact, 2 books and the serial howto...

Thx,

Sam
