message at startup
fs type usbdevfs not supported by kernel

no doubt caused by line in /etc/fstab
none  /proc/bus/usb  usbdevfs  defaults  0  0

Do I remove that line from fstab? I do own a SD memory card reader that
may have caused that to get installed when machine was on Fedora-1

I don't recall putting it in there (though I might have at one time). My
goal is to make my Kyocera Palm Phone work via USB

pilot-xfer /dev/pilot works fine

gnome-pilotd doesn't ever see it

I was hoping that updated kernel 2.6.10-1.741_FC3 and

# cat /etc/udev/rules.d/10-udev.rules
KERNEL="ttyUSB1",SYMLINK="pilot"

# cat /etc/udev/permissions.d/10-udev.permissions
#set Palm Pilot rwx
pilot*:root:usb:0666

would make it work
