Josh,
Check a couple of things.
Do you have usb service starting at boot?
In /etc/sysconfig/usb do you have an entry VISOR=yes
In /etc/modules.conf do you have the following entries:
alias usb-interface usb-uhci (this is for intel chipsets, ali has usb-ohci I
think)
post-install usb-uhci modprobe visor
In /etc/fstab
none /proc/bus/usb usbdevfs noauto 0 0
These are just some setup type things to check.
Also, my /dev/pilot is a symlink I had to add, my visor is using
/dev/usb/ttyUSB1 so the command was
ln -s /dev/usb/ttyUSB1 /dev/pilot
Hope this helps you out.
