    Situation-
    /dev/pilot does not exist

    What I am trying to do-
    sync palm Vx with Evolution1.4 on fc2

    Spec
    Palm Vx OS_3.5 after hard reset
    Serial cradle connected
    Evolution 1.4 never been synced before

    What I have tried...after Googling and fedora archive-

    1_ originally I thought it was permissions
    [root@blue root]# chmod 0666 /dev/pilot
    chmod: cannot access `/dev/pilot': No such file or directory

    and

    [root@blue root]# pilot-xfer -p /dev/pilot -l
     
       The device /dev/pilot does not exist..
       Possible solution:
     
            mknod /dev/pilot c <major> <minor>
     
       Unable to bind to port: /dev/pilot
       Please use --help for more information
     

    2_Well, I know ttyS0 and ttyS1 do exist...

    [root@blue root]# setserial -g /dev/ttyS[0-4]
    /dev/ttyS0, UART: 16550A, Port: 0x03f8, IRQ: 4
    /dev/ttyS1, UART: 16550A, Port: 0x02f8, IRQ: 3
    /dev/ttyS2, UART: unknown, Port: 0x03e8, IRQ: 4
    /dev/ttyS3, UART: unknown, Port: 0x02e8, IRQ: 3
    /dev/ttyS4, UART: unknown, Port: 0x0000, IRQ: 0

    ?Advice please..
    Should I make a soft link between ttyS0 and /dev/pilot...?

    or something with mknod? I did a man mknod, but do not understand what
    should be done.
