From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Bill Moseley Date: Wed, 01 Jan 2003 23:20:27 +0000 Subject: Problems with Palm hotsync Message-Id: List-Id: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To: linux-hotplug@vger.kernel.org I posted a similar message to the jpilot list. I'm trying to get my Palm m500 to hotsync by using a usb/visor script. If I run the script from the command line it works fine, but when run by usb.agent hotsyncing hangs. I'm looking for debugging tips to help solve the problem. I upgraded to 2.4.20 from 2.4.18 a few days ago so that modules would get unloaded correctly. 2.4.20 solved that problem, but now I can't hotsync and I've even received Kernel Oops while trying to hotsync. Here's my usb/visor script: #!/bin/sh logger "********** Start ************" sleep 2 /bin/su moseley -c /usr/bin/jpilot-sync logger "** end **" /sbin/rmmod visor usbserial When I press hotsync the Palm says "identifying user" and then hangs. I see the "** Start **" message in syslog. I then tap cancel on the Palm m500 and after a few seconds I see the "** end **" message. Now both of these things work: 1) If I *replace* the call to jpilot-sync above with logger "running!" the script runs to completion and I see all the messages in the syslog. 2) If I rename visor to visor.tmp (so the hotplug agent doens't run it) and then hit the hotsync button (which loads the visor and usbserial modules) and then I run as root ./visor.tmp then it syncs correctly. I'm running 2.4.20, jpilot 0.99.3 and the debian hotplug package 0.0.20020826-1. BTW -- when trying to use the visor script (and it hangs) when I press cancel I set: Jan 1 14:28:35 bumby kernel: usb-uhci.c: interrupt, status 3, frame# 193 I assume that's due to tapping "cancel" on the Palm. Anyone have any ideas where to look or what else to test? -- Bill Moseley moseley@hank.org ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Linux-hotplug-devel mailing list http://linux-hotplug.sourceforge.net Linux-hotplug-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linux-hotplug-devel
