Default gentoo will create these files automatically using devfs, do you see files in /dev/isdn/ when the driver is loaded? does $ pidof devfsd return a number? showing devfsd is running Which kernel are you using? useful isdn4linux info: /usr/src/linux/Documentation/isdn/README.HiSax http://www.isdn4linux.de/faq/ http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=29991 further searches at http://forums.gentoo.org for isdn, hisax etc So that's what devfsd is supposed to do. Sorry, am used to FreeBSD. On the machine on which I had to configure the ISDN adapter, I can't verify whether devfsd was running, but it's a Linux hagemannpc 2.6.5-gentoo-r1 #2 SMP Tue May 18 13:54:21 CEST 2004 i686 Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.80GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux with a genkernel. I suppose I'll have to go back and check if devfsd was really running, but I'm pretty sure it did. What else could be the problem? I checked http://www.isdn4linux.de/faq/, but it had no answer. Let me try the steps outlined on the Gentoo forum and I'll post another comment sometime this weekend. devfsd basically manages the files in /dev In combination with support in the kernel, when you load a driver, files are created in /dev as appriopriate. Most users running the 2.6 kernel are using udev, which is a replacement for devfsd, so that might be running(udevd) and doing a similar job. A quick look at the default configuration file that genkernel will use (/usr/share/genkernel/x86/kernel-config-2.6) indicates that isdn drivers arnt built, so you probably need to recompile your kernel. Support questions are better handled by http://forums.gentoo.org or the mailing lists (http://www.gentoo.org/main/en/lists.xml) Thanks stan. |
