    My system has:
    2 serial
    1 parallel
    1 floppy
    1 gameport
    1 joystick
    2 PS/2
    2 VGA
    1 HPET
    1 RTC

    In /sys/bus/platform/devices I see this:
    floppy.0
    i8042
    serial8250
    shouldn't there be entries for all of the legacy devices?

    In /dev
    fd0
    fd/0
    fd/1
    fd/2
    fd/3
    floppy
    ttyS0
    ttyS1
    ttyS2
    ttyS3
    parport0
    parport1
    parport2
    parport3
    lp0
    lp1
    lp2
    lp3
    hpet
    not sure what serio0/.1 appear as

    I don't have joystick/game modules loaded.
    Lot's of extra device nodes
    We need to start making VGA devices

    Plus I have 64 tty devices. Couldn't the tty devices be created
    dynamically as they are consumed? Same for the loop and ram devices?

    Because /sys isn't right the right devices don't show up in HAL.
