I don't know exactly since when this happens, because i usually don't hotsync that often, but i'm sure it happens without changing anything on my system but the frequent world and kernel updates. The host is an IBM ThinkPad t40 running a some days old 6.0-CURRENT, which provides serial connection to a Palm m505 handheld running PalmOS version 4.0 Some informational snippets: freddy@pegasus:~ 0% dmesg | grep sio0 sio0: <16550A-compatible COM port> port 0x3f8-0x3ff irq 3 flags 0x10 on acpi0 sio0: type 16550A freddy@pegasus:~ 0% pkg_version -v -s pilot-link pilot-link-0.11.8_3 = up-to-date with port After plugging the PDA, starting "pilot-xfer -p /dev/cuad0 -l" and pressing the hotsync button, the notebook stands still - still as in complete freeze. Only a power cycle can reanimate the notebook - but nothing is found in any log providing an idea on what was going on. Any information appreciated :-) Regards, Frank -- "Two of the most famous products of Berkeley are LSD and Unix. I don't think that this is a coincidence." -- Anonymous
