[Voyage-linux] Re: more on usb and latest voyage 0.2pre4 release

[Kim-man "Punky" TSE]

Try to remove hotplug by "apt-get remove hotplug".  So that all device 
will be detected by udev, not hotplug in next boot. 

It may be a little bit risky, but it is the only way to verify if it is 
a general 2.6.15 issue.  Make sure there is no important things in the 
CF, the worst case is that you may need to reinstall voyage again.

Sorry if I understand correctly: Are all kernels (either stock or 
voyage) run on WRAP?  And the only difference is just the kernel?  I 
think so but just to confirm.  I ask because I see your dmesg output 
shows different hostname prompt (voyage#, debian#, etc.)

Another things to try on 2.6.15-voyage:
- look at is /dev/ttyUSB* device.  I am thinking about read only issue 
in /dev.  Try "rmmod -f ftdi_sio", then remountrw and "modprobe ftdi_sio".
