[SAGE] Syncing PDA and Linux

[Neil Watson <sage@watson-wilson.ca>]

I took the plunge and bought a Palm Z22 after reading 'Time management
for system administrators'.  I'm having a heck of a time trying to sync
it.  I've loaded the visor and usbserial kernel modules.  When I attempt
to have kpilot find the device, which appears as /dev/pilot =>
/dev/ttyUSBx the PDA briefly reports a sync but then goes quite.  Kpilot
report that it cannot find the device.  I see some errors in the kernel
log files:

usb 1-3.2: new full speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 39
hub 1-3:1.0: Cannot enable port 2.  Maybe the USB cable is bad?
hub 1-3:1.0: Cannot enable port 2.  Maybe the USB cable is bad?
hub 1-3:1.0: Cannot enable port 2.  Maybe the USB cable is bad?
hub 1-3:1.0: Cannot enable port 2.  Maybe the USB cable is bad?
usb 1-3.2: new full speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 43
usb 1-3.2: device descriptor read/64, error -110

After that the /dev/ttyUSBx files disappear and do not return even when
I attempt another sync.  I've tried two different cables using both USB2
and USB1 ports but the error persists.  I'm using kernel 2.6.19.1 and
Debian Sarge.
