That is a suboptimal approach. It should be trivial to export serno via
udev as Alex suggested and just as trivial to parse that (and more) info
from a userspace utility using libdevattr. It is generic and extendable.
Just try it :)
Umm, guys. What we just need to do is to compare majors/minors with a 
shell script. This would take, like, 4 lines, doesn't force me to run 
udevd, hence works in single user mode, too, can be modified without 
needing /usr/src and perhaps a couple of other advantages.

Why the complexity?
