Yes, this is a relic from how the console and serial subsystem do their device naming. I left the serial device name at ttyS* so that there wouldn't need to be special knowledge of this in whatever distribution bits set up and configure serial consoles. In hindsight that might have been a mistake, and perhaps I should have named both things ttyHV* but there's no way I can change it now without breaking more than I would fix. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe sparclinux" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
