[BTM] Tungsten

I find it difficult to believe that the problem is coming from the 
adapter because it works perfectly with my mobile phone: I can send 
files to it and Address Book works fine with it sending SMS, dialing 
and answering. So the problem seems to me (I'm no expert) to be 
software based. The Palm seems to activate something that the Address 
Book has no need for that causes the panic. Something I found odd was 
that after uninstalling Palm software and then re-installing it all my 
preferences for the Palm desktop software seem to have been kept as 
well as all the data. This leads me to think that the uninstall that 
the original CD does is not a full uninstall, or at least some  the 
preferences seem to be left behind.

I've just tried Bruce's advice of setting up another account on my 
computer, installed Palm Desktop on it and tried to sync. The result 
was the same: Kernel Panic.

Re-installing X is not really an option I'd like to consider. I did 
that recently after a HD crash and only now, after 3 weeks do I have 
the system where I want (like) it. I have a ton of stuff that I REALLY 
dread having to install and configure again (like 6 printers, internet 
and LAN configs for 3 different places, color calibration for 3 of the 
6 printers etc.) Plus I like a custom look so I've substituted almost 
every icon on the system... thats a pain to do again.

What I'm going to try and do is setup another Tibook and see if the 
result is the same. This might take a few days... I need to convince a 
friend of mine I'm not going to screw up his system! ;-)

Why do they call it a TV set when you only get one?
