Hi,
Slackware 10.2 kernel 2.6.16
Why is it that the symlink /dev/modem to /dev/ttyS0 is gone when machine is
halted and has to be made again after rebooting?
I do not know when this started, definitely it did not happen before I got my
broadband connection a little over a year ago.
Thanks & regards
Hi, Peter:
...because it is removed during a boot?
Edit /etc/rc.d/rc.6 and put
ls -l /dev/modem [> /home/modem.txt]
ls -l /dev/ttyS0 [> /home/ttyS0.txt]
immediately in front of
'reboot' and 'halt' to see if it is still there immediately before.
It is a few lines from the bottom on my Slackware 10.2 - 2.4.31
Boot from a 'live CD' and see of the link is there to see if it is being
removed during a boot.
-or-
put "ln -s /dev/modem /dev/ttyS0" at the bottom of your /etc/rc.d/rc.local.
(did ^ ^ I get that right?)
HTH, Chuck
