From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040616 Description of problem: I have a multiport serial card (8 ports) when I install the card. instead of getting serial ports ttyS4 - ttyS11 I get ttyS14, ttyS15 then ttyS44 - ttyS49. The tty numbers assigned should be sequential starting at 4. This the behaviour in 2.4.X and seems logical enough. Thanks, Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel.2.6.9 and 2.6.10 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. insert multiport serial card quatech ESC100M 2. boot with 2.6.10 3. serial ports assigned are NOT sequential. Actual Results: serial ports ar 14,15, 44-49 Expected Results: I expected the serial ports to be 4 - 11. Additional info: I get the exact same results with a different vendor multiport card also.
