Thanks.
I tried this, but am still having no luck syncing either through Jpilot
interface or directly at console using pilot-xfer.
When I hit the hotsync button on my Zire, I get:
ucom0: PalmOne, Inc. Palm Handheld, rev 1.00/1.00, addr 2
ucom0: PalmOne, Inc. Palm Handheld, rev 1.00/1.10, addr 2
I then type:
# pilot-xfer -p /dev/cuaU0 -b backup
and I get:
Listening to port: /dev/cuaU0
Please press teh HotSync button now....
then *nothing*
either I cancel on my zire, or it times out, and my dmesg output:
ucom0: ucomreadcb: IOERROR
ucom0: at uhub1 port2 (addr 2) disconnected
All threads purged from cuaU0
All threads purged from ttyU0
ucom0: detached
Of cource if I try to "pilot-xfer" the same command above *before*
hitting hotsync on the zire, I get:
The device /dev/cuaU0 does not exist..
Possible solution:
mkdnod /dev/cuaU0 c <major> <minor>
Unable to bind to port: /dev/cuaU0
I'm doing all of this as *root* right now, just to get this working
before I tackle the usual permissions issues that crop up when I do this
as my regular user.
For laughs and giggles, I also tried all of this with /dev/ttyU0 as
well, but it doesn't seem to make any difference.
Thanks for any help.
