Not a kernel issue. Your ttyC10 - ttyC15 are not "legal" tty names in Linux. It would really be nice if Cyclades and Comtrol would get a grip and realize these names cause major headaches to nearly everyone when they're first exposed to them. Limit yourself to 2 characters after tty, and the problem goes away. The same goes for cub/cuc/cur/etc.
Here's a little script that will make you 64 utmply correct ttyC devices and the corresponding cuc's.
#!/usr/bin/perl
@port = ('0'..'9','a'..'z','A'..'Z','_','^'); $major_t=19; $minor=32; $major_c=20;
foreach $i (@port) { system("rm -f /dev/ttyC$i /dev/cuc$i /dev/cub$i"); system("mknod /dev/ttyC$i c $major_t $minor"); system("mknod /dev/cuc$i c $major_c $minor"); $minor++; system("chown root.tty /dev/ttyC$i /dev/cuc$i"); system("chmod 666 /dev/ttyC$i /dev/cuc$i"); print "made $i\n"; } note1: The minor number here is for the older 1.2 and 1.3 kernels before it was moved to 0. note2: The perms I set may not be good for you...but my system is a terminal server, where nobody but me gets shell...so they're not too important to me.
