When I try to backup my Sony Clie PEG-T415 to my Linux box running 2.4.23 kernel, it pilot-link just hangs saying: Listening to port: /dev/tts/1 Please press the HotSync button now... I've tried /dev/tts/1 and /dev/tts/0 because I can't remember which one it is. This used to work. Looking at /var/log/messages I see this: May 5 19:37:27 MCP kernel: hub.c: new USB device 00:02.0-1, assigned address 8 May 5 19:37:27 MCP kernel: usbserial.c: Handspring Visor / Treo / Palm 4.0 / Cli

do you happen to have gpilotd or something running in the background? it doesnt look like its the kernel's problem because it detects and assigned the right tts device.
Nope, no gpilotd. No hotplug either.
have you tried reporting this upstream?
oh btw, have you looked and see if your clie is similar to this on ine bug 52550?
No, I don't use gnome-pilot. But actually I talked with the pilot-link guys and they said I should first recompile visor as a kernel module (I build all kernel features into my kernel) to better help them debug this problem with me. I did so and the error messages are now no longer being displayed and hotsyncing works again.
oh ic .. sorry, i was a bit confused when i posted that comment. but thanks for getting back to us, so i'll close this bug out then since there's nothing we can do on our side.
