Just reloaded my system with the newest Debian kernel .  When attempting to
establish my PDA (Palm Zire 22), *gpilotd* returns the following

> *Failed to connect using device 'Cradle', on port '/dev/pilot'.  Check

 I do *not* know how to build or modify the kernels and, frankly, given bad
experiences I've had in the past with automatic updates that installed new
kernels, it scares me a little.  But if that's what I must do to get this
PDA initialized, that's what I must do.  And I would rather have a
*pilot*node appear in /dev, than mess around with trying to identify
various
*usb* nodes there, which I find are liable to change and generally are a
pain in the neck.

Any advice would be appreciated.

cat /etc/issue:

 uname -a:

> GNU/Linux


Thanks to everyone for your consideration.
