I finally nailed this one down by comparing loaded processes between recovery mode and normal boot. It turns out that modem-manager tries to probe the Palm when it allocates its USB ports.
My workaround is to remove the modemmanager package and kill instances of modem-manager (I am not sure how to stop it from spawning.) You probably lose mobile broadband support in this case. modem-manager needs to be taught how to not probe Palm devices, I think. ** Package changed: linux (Ubuntu) => modemmanager (Ubuntu) ** Summary changed: - [karmic] visor module crashes PalmOS handhelds (tested: LifeDrive, CLIÉ) + modem-manager tries to probe, crashes PalmOS handhelds -- modem-manager tries to probe, crashes PalmOS handhelds https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/421673 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
