Subject: [gentoo-user] /dev/ttyS0: Too many levels of symbolic links

1 Hi list,
2
3 I tried to use a serial device, but /dev/ttyS0 is a symlink to /dev/tss/0
4 and /dev/tss/0 is a symlink to /dev/ttyS0 (again)
5 /dev/ttyS0 -> /dev/tts/0 -> /dev/ttyS0 --> [...].
6 I don't know if I have compiled the right kernel drivers for serial devices
7 (in fact I've compiled and loaded these kernel modules: 8250.ko 8250_acpi.ko
8 8250_pci.ko 8250_pnp.ko serial_core.ko).
9
10 However, /dev/ttyS0 shouldn't be a recursive symlink.
11
12 I'm using the latest (unmasked) udev available with gentoo.
13
14 Any ideas?
15
16 Thank you,
17 Michael
