I'm having the same problem. It appears that the kernel is assiging the palm (I have a Treo 600) to different devices when I press the hotsync button. Typically it uses /dev/ttyUSB0 and ttyUSB1. (1 is used for hotsync and, I believe 0 is the modem.) After the upgrade to the latest kernel (2.6.9-1.6), it was using ttyUSB2 and ttyUSB3. I tried changing the pilot settings to use the new device but it looked like the kernel decided to move the palm back to ttyUSB0 and ttyUSB1 on the next press of the hotsync button. I also had problems restarting the computer under this kernel. I'm back at the .521 kernel and all is well. See bug 140816. Going to 2.6.9-1.9_FC2/i686 seemed to cure the pilot-link sync brokeness of 2.6.9-1.6_FC2 on my IBM ThinkPad A22p laptop. My Handspring can now sync with ttyUSB0 (general) and ttyUSB1 (hotsync). the updates-testing kernel is moving to updates proper soon, so moving this to modified state. |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040922 Description of problem: I have a Palm Zire 71 and keep it sync'd to my machine using jpilot. Have been doing this for a while now. I just upgraded the kernel to 2.6.9-1.6_FC2 (from 2.6.8-1.521), and now, when I press the sync button on jpilot, the connection always dies in the middle of the transfer. If I reboot the old kernel (2.6.8-1.521), it works fine. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-2.6.9-1.6_FC2 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Put Zire 71 on cradle 2. Start jpilot 3. Press the "sync" button on the pilot 4. Sync starts, then hangs halfway through. Actual Results: The sync operation hangs. The Zire reports "The connection between your handheld computer and the desktop was lost. Some of your data was NOT backed up. Please check your setup and try again." Expected Results: The sync operation should finish and the data should be backed up on the computer.
