Description Karl O. Pinc 2008-05-08 12:41:11 UTC
Latest working kernel version: ?
Earliest failing kernel version: 2.6.25.2
Distribution: Debian (etchnhalf + stable)
Hardware Environment: Dell Latitude XT (a tablet)
Software Environment: Debian stable, plus proposed updates, plus 2.5.25.2 kernel
Problem Description:

Booting with an Edgeport/4 plugged in results in the attached serial
ports /dev/ttyUSB2, ttyUSB3, ttyUSB4, and ttyUSB5 instead
of /dev/ttyUSB0, ttyUSB1, ttyUSB2, ttyUSB3.

Unplugging and re-plugging the USB device results
in attached devices /dev/ttyUSB4, 5, 6, and 7.

The infamous "io_ti: probe of 1-2.1:1.0 failed with error -5" message
of bug# 10426 shows up in the dmesg output both at boot and when
re-plugging the USB device.

Attached are dmesg output, the .config for the kernel,
and /proc/bus/usb/devices.

I am sorry but I will have very minimal access to this hardware configuration
from this moment forward and it is unlikely I will be able to do further
testing.

This isn't a bug, the option device is getting assigned those lower tty numbers, as it is plugged in.

Closing out.

This is not a bug, you have the option driver loaded which takes up the
lower numbers.

I have closed this bugzilla entry out.

thanks,
