Description Dieter Bloms 2005-08-13 09:12:11 UTC

the device /dev/parport0 is included in the package devs, but after a reboot
this device is missing and I have to create it manually.

Hubert, any idea?

Comment 2 Olaf Kirch 2005-08-15 10:12:48 UTC

Hubert is on vacation this week. 
 
Sounds like a udev/hotplug problem to me.

Comment 3 Kay Sievers 2005-08-15 10:49:09 UTC

parport is not in sysfs, so udev can't manage it
we have a ugly hack in the udev bootup script to create nodes on bootup,
i will add the /dev/parport0 99:0 and /dev/parport1 99:1 there.

Comment 4 Dieter Bloms 2005-08-15 14:19:46 UTC

There are 4 parport devices in the devs package:

--snip--
gateway:/# rpm -q devs
devs-10.0-1
gateway:/# rpm -ql devs | grep parport
/dev/parport0
/dev/parport1
/dev/parport2
/dev/parport3
gateway:/#
--snip--

if you insist... we have 4 ports now... :)
