I'm also on 2.6.12-r4 and I've got the same problem, although this is my first time setting up palm sync.
Code:
watch -n 1 modprobe -l
and then hotsync no new modules are loaded so my problem might be different

Hi,

I had another deep look into this prob (as deep as i can do as a non-developer !), but no luck. Maybe somebody who is deeper in this thing can see the prob :)


My Box:

Code:
# uname -a
Linux 2.6.12-gentoo-r6 #1 Sat Jul 23 21:00:48 CEST 2005 i686 AMD Athlon(tm) XP 2400+ AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux

# qpkg -v -I gcc
sys-devel/gcc-3.3.5-r1
sys-devel/gcc-config-1.3.11-r4
# qpkg -v -I glibc
sys-libs/glibc-2.3.5



Before first Hotsync (no visor module loaded, but the rest of the USB stack which is needed !):

Code:
# lsmod | grep ^[uv][ish][bcs]
usbserial              26024  1 ftdi_sio
usb_storage            30404  0
uhci_hcd               29776  0
usbcore               106908  5 ftdi_sio,usbserial,usb_storage,uhci_hcd



While trying to do a Hotsync doing a 'tail -f /var/log/messages':

Code:
Jul 31 10:17:46 usb 2-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 4
Jul 31 10:17:46 usb 2-1: Handspring Visor / Palm OS: port 1, is for Generic use
Jul 31 10:17:46 usb 2-1: Handspring Visor / Palm OS: port 2, is for HotSync use
Jul 31 10:17:46 usb 2-1: Handspring Visor / Palm OS: Number of ports: 2
Jul 31 10:17:46 visor 2-1:1.0: Handspring Visor / Palm OS converter detected
Jul 31 10:17:46 usb 2-1: Handspring Visor / Palm OS converter now attached to ttyUSB1
Jul 31 10:17:46 usb 2-1: Handspring Visor / Palm OS converter now attached to ttyUSB2



While trying to do a Hotsync doing a 'find /dev -name "*USB*" -exec ls -l {} \;':

Code:
# find /dev -name "*USB*" -exec ls -l {} \;
crw-rw----  1 root root 188, 0 Jul 31 09:31 /dev/ttyUSB0
-rw-r--r--  1 root root 54 Jul 31 09:31 /dev/.udevdb/class@tty@ttyUSB0



After the Visor times out seen in /var/log/messages

Code:
Jul 31 10:17:51 usb 2-1: USB disconnect, address 4
Jul 31 10:17:51 visor ttyUSB1: Handspring Visor / Palm OS converter now disconnected from ttyUSB1
Jul 31 10:17:51 visor ttyUSB2: Handspring Visor / Palm OS converter now disconnected from ttyUSB2
Jul 31 10:17:51 visor 2-1:1.0: device disconnected



But the visor module is present, so it's loaded by Hotplug/udev

Code:
# lsmod | grep ^[uv][ish][bcs]
visor                  17548  0
usbserial              26024  2 visor,ftdi_sio
usb_storage            30404  0
uhci_hcd               29776  0
usbcore               106908  6 visor,ftdi_sio,usbserial,usb_storage,uhci_hcd


But no luck doing a Hotsync, neither by using /dev/ttyUSB1 nor /dev/ttyUSB2. No wonder, they are not generated :(. The /dev/ttyUSB0 device belongs to another USB gadget, is functional and is generated by the ftdi_sio module

In the moment I tried to look wether 2.6.12-gentoo-r6 is the most recent stable 2.6.12 kernel, but http://packages.gentoo.org/ seems to be down :(



Any Hints ? More info needed ?!

Hi again,

for the sake of this prob I have built a vanilla 2.6.12.3 kernel. The same prob. So the prob seems to be in the vanilla kernel, not creeping in gentoo-sources with one of gentoos own patches :) !

Hi,

in the moment I did another test with kernel

Code:
# uname -a
Linux BlackHole 2.6.12-gentoo-r9 #1 Mon Aug 29 07:57:32 CEST 2005 i686 AMD Athlon(tm) XP 2400+ AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux


but again no luck :(

Code:
# ls -l /dev/ttyUSB* /dev/vis* /dev/pil* /dev/pal* /dev/tts/US*
ls: /dev/vis*: No such file or directory
ls: /dev/pil*: No such file or directory
ls: /dev/pal*: No such file or directory
ls: /dev/tts/US*: No such file or directory
crw-rw----  1 root root 188, 0 Aug 29 20:01 /dev/ttyUSB0


The /dev/ttyUSB0 devicenode belongs to anther gadget. My whole box works without a prob, when I boot a 2.6.11-gentoo-r6 kernel, this was the last one with which it worked :(

Hi,

after another update to

Code:

qpkg -v -I gentoo

sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.6.12-r10


and

Code:

qpkg -v -I udev 
sys-fs/udev-068


in a first attempt syncing my USB attached Visor looks well :D . But the udev release hasn't mattered in the past, so I believe the kernelupdate did the job

Yeah 8)

Happy Hunting
