i dont see how those things are related. the major/minor are irrelevant, unless you've already hard coded these in some app that creates device nodes manually (instead of mdev/udev), but even then that's something that "needs to be run on the target". and both already have config support to transparently do something like "symlink ttyS# to XXX" as XXX is created. -mike
