Please, would someone respond with some help, even if its just a link
offering a solution that a relative newbie can implement.
After Purging udev including rming the entire /etc/udev directory and
reinstalling to fix a sound problem I have
to create the modem symbolic link, ln -s /dev/ttySHCF0 /dev/modem every
time I boot up. I've tried
ChatagnierL-Home:/etc/udev/scripts# /etc/init.d/udev restart
Recreating device nodes...done.
ChatagnierL-Home:/etc/udev/scripts#
After rebooting, still no /dev/modem and have to create symlink again
ChatagnierL-Home:/etc/udev/scripts# /usr/bin/udevtest /dev/modem
version 056
looking at '/dev/modem'
sysfs_open_class_device_path failed
ChatagnierL-Home:/etc/udev/scripts#
Googled for above message and found 7 items concerning older versions of
udev with pages of script that I wouldn't
dare try.
There were 2 or 3 files in /etc/udev/rules.d dir that were no recreated
after reinstalling udev that goes something like:
hfcpci.conf and 10 or 50sound.rules. The hfcpci.conf is probably
pertinent to the problem. How can I recreate it?
Considered running the script inputdev.sh, read sh man and info but
couldn't determine which option to use. Never have run a script before
but it seems to use Debian I going to have to do it. Could someone clue
me in if this is the
correct script to use and the proper switch to use. I am a relative
newbie and not a programmer, just a user.
I've also read the udev manual and googled on the subject, and its over
my head.
A quick solution is desirable as my system is fully functional
otherwise(until the next upgrade/dist-upgrade anyway). I'm using
kernel-image 2.6.8-2-686 an upgrading under testing with udev version
.056-2 installed.
There is no entry regarding /dev/modem, only a capi entry, in the
udev.rules file or in the devfs.rules file.
