Was the previous 667 kernel any better?
Just to make it clear, everything related to the Palm was working OK prior to this kernel upgrade (from kernel-2.6.9-1.667). Current kernel is i686 UP build:- Linux angua.localnet 2.6.9-1.678_FC3 #1 Mon Nov 15 18:28:07 EST 2004 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux There is a udev tweak (left over from FC3 test releases) to make the devices be visible to the system - an extra file /etc/udev/rules.d/10_palm.rules containing KERNEL="ttyUSB1", NAME="%k", SYMLINK="pilot" This may no longer be necessary, although a look at the default udev rules file does not convince me that this is handled correctly yet.
Had a chance to reboot the box (the visor module is jammed in and can't be unloaded after this Oops) and retry. The problem is definitely reproducable on my hardware.
For what it's worth, I get this Oops too. Everything was fine under 667 and now I get the oops repeatably when trying to sync my Palm Tungsten T3.
Same here, using a Palm Zire. Works OK with 667, the same Oops using 678.
