Hi all,

I am having problems to get the SeaLevel IO card to work with CentOS distro.

Basically the card is being recognised and shown by lspci BUT /proc/devices 
file is not updated with the new devices does anyone know  why. ?

Could someone tell me what/where infos are needed to get /proc/devices to be 
updated.

The reason I require the /proc/devices infos is because I want to run a mknod 
command with those infos.

This is rather urgent so any help will be much appreciated.
