I got something like that... Here's the relevant information that dmesg outputs about the ipod, but it doesn't seem to be doing anything with it. Initializing USB Mass Storage driver... usb.c: registered new driver usb-storage scsi3 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices Vendor: Apple Model: iPod Rev: 1.62 Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02 WARNING: USB Mass Storage data integrity not assured USB Mass Storage device found at 2 USB Mass Storage support registered. usb.c: USB disconnect on device 00:10.4-1 address 2 hub.c: new USB device 00:10.4-1, assigned address 3 WARNING: USB Mass Storage data integrity not assured USB Mass Storage device found at 3 usb.c: USB disconnect on device 00:10.4-1 address 3 hub.c: new USB device 00:10.4-1, assigned address 4 WARNING: USB Mass Storage data integrity not assured USB Mass Storage device found at 4 usb.c: USB disconnect on device 00:10.4-1 address 4 hub.c: new USB device 00:10.4-1, assigned address 5 WARNING: USB Mass Storage data integrity not assured USB Mass Storage device found at 5 usb.c: USB disconnect on device 00:10.4-1 address 5 hub.c: new USB device 00:10.4-1, assigned address 6 WARNING: USB Mass Storage data integrity not assured USB Mass Storage device found at 6 usb.c: USB disconnect on device 00:10.4-1 address 6 hub.c: new USB device 00:10.4-1, assigned address 7 WARNING: USB Mass Storage data integrity not assured USB Mass Storage device found at 7 usb.c: USB disconnect on device 00:10.4-1 address 7 hub.c: new USB device 00:10.4-2, assigned address 8 WARNING: USB Mass Storage data integrity not assured USB Mass Storage device found at 8 What's the deal with all these warnings? Also, any ideas why it would connect/disconnect like that over and over? Should I restore it to the factory settings and attempt it from scratch? (I've got the restore tool installed on my laptop that dual boots with windows) > 2.

All of the files are owned by root and I can't write to the thing though. When I make changes to my playlist and try and upload them to the iPod I get an error telling me I can't write to the itunesdb file. > To get rid of the ipod's message that says to not disconnect the ipod, > like root: > # eject /dev/sda2 # eject /dev/sda2 umount: /media/ipod: device is busy umount: /media/ipod: device is busy eject: unmount of `/dev/sda2' failed I'm unable to unmount the device with either that eject command or the umount command. Any ideas on what would cause it to resist unmounting? I issued "umount /media/ipod -l" for the moment to see if it'll eventually stop being "busy" and unmount itself while I sleep. We'll see how it goes in the morning, as of now though it's still flashing "do not disconnect" on the screen. -- - Josh www.omg-stfu.com -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
