Description petrosyan 2002-08-08 23:36:09 UTC 
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20020804

Description of problem:
serial device is named as ttyS01 instead of ttyS1
this bug was first introduced in 2.4.19pre7 and fixed later.
I found about it in LKML archives dated April 16th 2002.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
2.4.18-7.93

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
dmesg | more

Serial driver version 5.05c (2001-07-08) with MANY_PORTS MULTIPORT SHARE_IRQ
SERIAL_PCI ISAPNP enabled
ttyS01 at 0x02f8 (irq = 3) is a 16550A

Actual Results:  there is no device named ttyS01, there are ttyS1 and others.

Additional info:

there is no way I can use my serial device with this kernel.
