Maybe my kernel will work

There's no way the USB cradle will work with 2.4.2.  USB cradle support
(initially for the Handspring Visor) was added in a much later rev of
2.4.x (x>10, IIRC), and the Palm Tungsten support is probably only in
the very latest, and maybe not even that.  I know it's in 2.5, but I
doubt if you really want to go there.  So I would definitely agree with
Lonnie, get your 2.4.20 going, and make sure you include Visor support
since that's the driver that handles the USB Palms.
