Hi,
i recently purchased a new Ipod Mini which i initially used via Firewire on my Laptop with windows.
Then i tried to change to Linux (using gtkpod for managing my playlists). Because i want to leave the
firewire cable connected to the laptop, i tried using the USB variant on Linux. My first try was with
SuSE 9.0 and a 2.4.x kernel. Unfortunately with no success. Same errors as you see here (now with
SuSE 9.2 and kernel 2.6.8).

so i removed the firewire cable from the laptop and attached it to my workstation. As you can
see everything is fine now. I suspect it has something to do with the usb mass storage
driver.

so any idea why the Ipod is not working as a storage device? Other devices like my digicam
(USB 1.0) are working as storage device.

Metoo. I've got a similar problem with an external USB disk.
Not an ipod, but just a mass storage device.
Kernel is 2.6.10-rc1 .
Please mail if I can help.
Regards
Harri

As jeffmock notes in http://tinyurl.com/6lmwp, the Apple iPod lies about its
size. It hurts particularly badly in this case, since if you access the iPod
beyond its real (not advertised) size, it locks up, and as some partition
tables (EFI) are stored at the end of the device, it locks up on the instant
you plug it in.
Note that contrary to what Jeff says, the error is only one sector. Maybe he
tried to read using the block device and got bitten by readahead.

Hi Avi,
> I recently posted a patch which fixes the problem; see attached.
thanks for the patch. I will try it. According to another tip i disabled EFI
GUID partition support and activated USB debugging. The Ipod is working
without problems with this config. I'll now try only the GUID support
disabled but again deactivating USB debugging. I will also try your patch.
