First I extracted just the USB options from your kernel and stuck them into my 2.6.24.5 kernel and rebuilt the modules and kernel. The result was exactly the same as my original result. That means to me that my problem was not my USB options. Next I built a 2.6.26.5 kernel with your config file exactly. I failed to notice that you run an Athlon and I am now running a Core 2 processor. My first try didn't boot. After changing the processor type and rebuilding the kernel and modules, I then found your kernel didn't support my sata drives. So I enabled the requisite SATA options to allow the system to see my drives. After all that I got the same result: without the garmin-gps module I could not see the device using usb: as the address. After loading the garmin-gps module and addressing the device as ttyUSB0 I get the same result as I had originally. This means to me that the gpsbabel code is broken. It seems to fail when I am using sata hard disks. I have tried to post to the gpsbabel forum, but I included the whole D9 debug output and the post was rejected. With your help I can narrow down the problem and resubmit my post to the forum. Meanwhile I will work with one of my older machines that doesn't use sata hard drives and see how that goes. Beej, you are a real hero.

Everything works fine, using -f garmin301 I can get track information and heart rate data. All is well thanks to you Beej. Now I have to report what I found to the gpsbabel group.

Does that mean that this never-ending thread here is now over...? -- "Ubuntu" -- an African word, meaning "Slackware is too hard for me".

More than just the .config file is updated during this process. > Next I built a 2.6.26.5 kernel with your config file > exactly. I failed to notice that you run an Athlon Once again, did you at least run "make oldconfig"? - Kurt |
