Problems with Palm and 6.0-RELEASE...

[Harrison Peter CSA BIRKENHEAD]

Rebuilt my system last night from 5.4-RELEASE p8 to 6.0-RELEASE. Went very smoothly, but I now have a problem with sync'ing my Palm Tungsten E.

The problem is that the ucom0 device entry doesn't appear when I press the hotsync button.

I'm still loading the appropriate modules, this is the output of kldstat:

Id Refs Address    Size     Name
 1   12 0xc0400000 62f5c0   kernel
 2    1 0xc0a30000 57c8     snd_ich.ko
 3    2 0xc0a36000 1d408    sound.ko
 4    2 0xc0a54000 32a8     ucom.ko
 5    1 0xc0a58000 2cac     uvisor.ko
 6    1 0xc1a1d000 1b000    radeon.ko
 7    1 0xc1a38000 d000     drm.ko

It seems to get seen properly, here's an extract from /var/log/messages:

Nov 21 21:26:50 desktop kernel: ucom0: Palm, Inc. Palm Handheld, rev 1.00/1.00, addr 2
Nov 21 21:26:50 desktop kernel: ucom0: Palm, Inc. Palm Handheld, rev 1.00/1.00, addr 2
Nov 21 21:27:07 desktop kernel: ucom0: at uhub0 port 3 (addr 2) disconnected
Nov 21 21:27:07 desktop kernel: All threads purged from cuaU0
Nov 21 21:27:07 desktop kernel: All threads purged from ttyU0
Nov 21 21:27:07 desktop kernel: ucom0: detached

And it shows up correctly with usbdevs:

Controller /dev/usb0:
addr 1: full speed, self powered, config 1, OHCI root hub(0x0000), SiS(0x0000), rev 1.00
 port 1 powered
 port 2 powered
 port 3 addr 2: full speed, power 2 mA, config 1, Palm Handheld(0x0060), Palm, Inc.(0x0830), rev 1.00
Controller /dev/usb1:

 port 1 powered
 port 2 addr 2: full speed, power 500 mA, config 1, ???(0x021e), vendor 0x055f(0x055f), rev 1.00
 port 3 powered
Controller /dev/usb2:
addr 1: high speed, self powered, config 1, EHCI root hub(0x0000), SiS(0x0000), rev 1.00
 port 1 addr 2: high speed, power 196 mA, config 1, Generic STORAGE DEVICE USB Device(0x0012), Genesys(0x3538), rev 1.19
 port 2 powered
 port 3 powered
 port 4 powered
 port 5 powered
 port 6 powered

But no entry in /dev.

The release note mentions that ucom was rewritten for 6.0. Does anyone know what the problem might be - this worked fine on 5.4?

My kernel is GENERIC minus the uscanner entry, otherwise no changes.

Google and a search of questions@ and mobile@ didn't turn up anything similar.

Any help or advice appreciated.

TIA
