i have two identical machines, and a sony clie cradle on each's USB bus. one has an OHCI+EHCI bus, the other one an UHCI bus. both use hotplug. the first one works perfectly. the second one works sporadically. every now and then -- even after a free reboot -- pilot-xfer will just sit there and tell me to press the hotsync button. of course i cannot, because i already had to press the hotsync button to create /dev/ttyUSB0. then it'll just hang there and nothing happens. occasionally it will even leave pilot-xfer and khubd in 'D' kernel states, which are unkillable (one of the biggest flaws if Linux!). does anyone else experience this? does anyone have a solution? thanks! -- Please do not CC me when replying to lists; I read them! .''`. martin f. krafft <madduck@debian.org> : :' : proud Debian developer, admin, and user `. `'` `- Debian - when you have better things to do than fixing a system NOTE: The pgp.net keyservers and their mirrors are broken!
