<P>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.</P>
<P>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:</P>
<P>kernel: Serial: 8250/16550 driver $Revision: 1.90 $ 8 ports, IRQ sharing
enabled.</P>
<P>kernel: ttyS0 at I/O 0x3f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A</P>
