Fellow Mandrakers, I'm trying to sync my Palm (not Visor, not Zaire) device using a USB cradle and encountering difficulty. I had been successful in sync-ing with the serial port, but that was very, very slow (20 minutes including Avantgo). I've scoured the net using keywords such as USB Linux Mandrake Palm Sync and various permutations there-of, but without much success. I'm concerned that I may have deleted the USB driver or somesuch.
Here's what happens when I follow one instruction I found (creating a symbolic link): [EMAIL PROTECTED] random]# ln -s /dev/ttyUSB1 /dev/pilot [EMAIL PROTECTED] random]# chmod 666 /dev/ttyUSB1 chmod: failed to get attributes of `/dev/ttyUSB1': Too many levels of symbolic links *Here's what a listing shows (all the data after the date is white flashing letters on a red background -- alarming): [EMAIL PROTECTED] random]# ll /dev/pilot lr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 12 Sep 18 03:48 /dev/pilot -> /dev/ttyUSB1 [EMAIL PROTECTED] random]# ll /dev/ttyUSB1 lr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 10 Sep 17 19:32 /dev/ttyUSB1 -> /dev/pilot *Here's what dmesg reports (snipped): Real Time Clock Driver v1.10e usb.c: registered new driver usbdevfs usb.c: registered new driver hub usb-uhci.c: $Revision: 1.275 $ time 15:32:56 Mar 14 2003 usb-uhci.c: High bandwidth mode enabled PCI: Found IRQ 9 for device 00:07.2 usb-uhci.c: USB UHCI at I/O 0xf460, IRQ 9 usb-uhci.c: Detected 2 ports usb.c: new USB bus registered, assigned bus number 1 hub.c: USB hub found hub.c: 2 ports detected usb-uhci.c: v1.275:USB Universal Host Controller Interface driver usbdevfs: remount parameter error EXT3 FS 2.4-0.9.19, 19 August 2002 on ide0(3,6), internal journal *[at end of dmesg, after having tried the above linking, chmod:] Splash status on console 0 changed to off hub.c: new USB device 00:07.2-2, assigned address 2 usb.c: USB device 2 (vend/prod 0xc88/0x21) is not claimed by any active driver. usb.c: USB disconnect on device 00:07.2-2 address 2 Can anyone direct me to a working solution?
