Re: USB Serial ports (ttyACMn) CentOS 6.7 (64-bit) vs. CentOS 6.7 (64-bit)

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]



I sent this out about a week or so ago, but I have heard nothing. I am
*thinking* it is a SELINUX problem, but I cannot figure out what. The SELINUX
settings for both machines are *exactly* the same (the stock defaults for a
standard CentOS 6 install).  The *only* difference is that the desktop 
(sauron) has a few VMs setup (under KVM) and the laptop (gollum) does not. The 
desktop has an AMD processor and a nVidia video chipset and the laptop has an 
Intel processor and an Intel graphic controller.  Although I can't see how 
either the processor or video chipset would have anything to to with the USB 
or USB serial port-type devices.  The desktop also has a PCI quad serial port 
card and includes the 8250.nr_uarts=8 kernel option and is set up to use an 
analog dialup modem to make PPP connections (again, I don't see that as having 
anything to do with anything).

Both machines are running the same kernel: 2.6.32-573.12.1.el6.x86_64
