Description Dan Hensley 2003-07-18 23:02:51 UTC
Description of problem:

When I updated my kernel to 2.4.20 (all updates so far), my Sony Clie failed to
be recognized.  It worked fine with all 2.4.18 updates.  I recently discovered
that this was because the module 'visor' was not being loaded.  The kernel
update via up2date needs to also update /etc/modules.conf to include this module
for functionality to return to what it was with the older kernels.


How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Install RH8.
2.  Update to current kernel security update (2.4.20-18.8)

Comment 1 Pete Zaitcev 2003-07-28 20:03:52 UTC
So, what's the working and non-working modules.conf?


Comment 2 Dan Hensley 2003-07-28 20:11:06 UTC
I'm not sure what to add to modules.conf, since all of the things I tried with
that file failed.  The solution that worked for me was to add

modprobe visor

to my /etc/rc.d/rc.local file.  I'm sure there is a better solution.

Comment 3 Pete Zaitcev 2003-08-01 03:19:32 UTC
Please do "grep visor /lib/modules/2.4.18-*/modules.usbmap" and
"grep visor /lib/modules/2.4.20-18.8/modules.usbmap", and attache the
result for me look at. I suspect that something forgot to re-run depmod,
or other such thing. Also, please attach /proc/bus/usb/devices,
just so that we know the particular Clie ID numbers.

Strangely enough, I don't see my Clie listed, but I just verified that it syncs
with Jpilot.  ???

Comment 6 Pete Zaitcev 2004-08-19 23:27:38 UTC
Does FC2 work?


Comment 7 Dan Hensley 2004-08-23 04:38:35 UTC
I have not had a chance to try FC2 yet, so I don't know.  I don't
think I'll have time to install FC2 or newer for a while--probably a
few months.  Meanwhile, I am able to sync my Clie.

Comment 8 Pete Zaitcev 2004-08-23 04:50:36 UTC
Dan, I cannot do anything about 2.4.20.
Next best thing I can offer is FC1.


Comment 9 Bugzilla owner 2004-09-30 15:41:19 UTC
Thanks for the bug report. However, Red Hat no longer maintains this version of
the product. Please upgrade to the latest version and open a new bug if the problem
persists.

The Fedora Legacy project (http://fedoralegacy.org/) maintains some older releases, 
and if you believe this bug is interesting to them, please report the problem in
the bug tracker at: http://bugzilla.fedora.us/
