 Posted: Thu Mar 02, 2006 4:23 pm Post subject: irda and symbolic links [SOLVED] |
 |
|
Hello together,
I try to start irda:
Sam2 ~ # /etc/init.d/irda start
* Starting IrDA ...
Failed to open device /dev/ttyS2: Too many levels of symbolic links
mmh ... checking:
Sam2 dev # ls /dev/ttyS2 -l
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 5 Mar 2 19:19 /dev/ttyS2 -> tts/2
Sam2 dev # ls /dev/tts/2 -l
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 8 Mar 2 19:19 /dev/tts/2 -> ../ttyS2
That is quite strange, isn't it? Unfortantly, I do not know where those symlinks should point.
Any Help?
Thanks!

* see: dmesg | grep ttyS (gives you the information for all serial ports in your machine)
- example output: serial8250: ttyS0 at I/O 0x3f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A ...
* remove /dev/ttyS#
* create new nodes (for all serial ports you have):
- mknod -m 666 /dev/ttyS0 c 4 64
- mknod -m 666 /dev/ttxS1 c 4 65
- etc.
* set serial port information:
- setserial /dev/ttyS0 port 0x3f8 irq 4
- setserial /dev/ttyS0 port 0x2f8 irq 3
- etc.
worked fine for me...
cheers, Karl |

I do not know if your solution would have worked for me because since then I have reinstalled my gentoo.
But since there is a solution, I think I should mark the topic with a [SOLVED] |
