Lost /dev/modem Symlink After Purging Udev And Reinstalling
This request for help is being reposted as no one offered any help.
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.
