In /dev fd0 fd/0 fd/1 fd/2 fd/3 floppy ttyS0 ttyS1 ttyS2 ttyS3 parport0 parport1 parport2 parport3 lp0 lp1 lp2 lp3 hpet not sure what serio0/.1 appear as I don't have joystick/game modules loaded. Lot's of extra device nodes We need to start making VGA devices Plus I have 64 tty devices. Couldn't the tty devices be created dynamically as they are consumed? Same for the loop and ram devices? Because /sys isn't right the right devices don't show up in HAL. -- Jon Smirl jonsmirl@gmail.com - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
