Thanks Beej. I am going to build a kernel using your
USB configuration and I will report back.

Thanks again Beej. You have been a great help. 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.
