Karmic 2.6.31-14-generic #48-Ubuntu: Palm Treo 680 reboots right after plugging it to USB port

[Walter Garcia-Fontes]

With 2.6.31-14-generic when I plug my Palm Treo 680 into the USB port, the Palm
reboots, and keeps rebooting until unplugged.

Filed a but to kernel.bugzill.org, bug 14530

Bug 14530 at bugzilla.kernel.org (sorry for the typos in the body of the bug description) has been discarded with
 the following message:

Please contact ubuntu about bugs with ubuntu kernels. If this shows up in a kernel.org kernel, then feel free to reopen a bug.

I just updated another system, and there the PALM TREO 680 does not reboot, so it seems like an issue in a particular system. So I will investigate further and I withdraw the bug report.

The PALM TREO does not reboot in another updated system, so it seem an issue of one particular system.

The problem was caused by the visor module being loaded when plugging the Palm Treo 680 into the USB port. I had the "blacklist visor" line commented out /etc/modprobe.d/libpisock9.conf, after putting it back again the rebooting went away.

I have the same reboot problem on my Treo 755p and 9.04. I installed visor to get the gnome sync to work, as directed on the Ubuntu Palm setup page. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PalmDeviceSetup
Right now gnome-pilot is locked up on my desktop.

The same here, kernel 2.6.31. Palm TX keeps resetting while plugged-in to USB and visor module is loaded.

Note that jpilot works anyway, just unload visor module and set "usb:" in jpilot preferences. No need to use /dev/ttyUSBx anymore.
