    the story so far
    jpilot running well on gentoo system
    
    udev rule
    # create symlink for palm pilot
    BUS=="usb", SYSFS{manufacturer}=="Palm, Inc.", KERNEL=="ttyUSB*", 
    NAME="ttyUSB%n", SYMLINK="pilot", GROUP="usb", MODE="0666"
    10-visor.rules lines 1-2/2 (END)
    
    <stupid error> decided to use portage version </stupid error>
    remove portage version
    install from tarball v 0.99.9.22
    
    was syncing on /dev/ttyUSB0
    
    
    
    sync on /dev/pilot managed one or two times
    now can't manage to sync at all
    whether /dev/pilot or /dev/ttyUSB0,1,23
    
    /dev/pilot is only happening on the odd numbers - and I always sync'ed on the 
    even numbers
    
    mums rules.d # ls -la /dev/pilot
    lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 2008-05-03 17:14 /dev/pilot -> ttyUSB1
    mums rules.d # ls -la /dev/pilot
    lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 2008-05-03 17:16 /dev/pilot -> ttyUSB1
    mums rules.d # ls -la /dev/pilot
    lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 2008-05-03 17:29 /dev/pilot -> ttyUSB3
    mums rules.d # ls -la /dev/pilot
    
    
    has anyone a suggestion as to why it does and then it doesn't sync??
