[rhn-users] Permanently Removing ttyS1 - ttyS7

[Mike Huff]

I just updated from Enterprise 3 to 4. On boot up now,  /dev/ttyS0 through /dev/ttyS7 are created instead of just ttyS0 & ttyS1. How do you permanently remove ttyS1 - ttyS7?  I have tried rm /dev/ttyS1 ..., but they are recreated each time you boot.

I'm using kernel 2.6.9-22 on a Dell PowerEdge 1850 that only has one comm port. The kernel reports the following in the message log:

kernel: Serial: 8250/16550 driver $Revision: 1.90 $ 8 ports, IRQ sharing enabled.

kernel: ttyS0 at I/O 0x3f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A
