Rockbox kernel panic - defaulting to original firmware

<< < (2/4) > >>

bluebrother:
Possible reasons:
- a hub between ipod and computer does unwanted things
- bad cable -- if possible, try a different cable
- your computer doesn't like the ipod as generic device -- try a different computer or different OS

Thanks for helping me on this.  I'm not using a hub.  I just tried to connect it to my husband's Fedora Core 6 machine, and not only did it not mount, it didn't even create a device for it! Uh oh.

bluebrother:
I sometimes have the same issue (computer doesn't recognize the Ipod, running on FC5). Check the output of dmesg and fdisk -- possibly your partitions are messed up (in which case it won't appear as a drive, neither in Windows nor Linux)

erinspice:
dmesg says:


--- Quote ---ohci_hcd 0000:00:02.0: auto-wakeup
usb 1-2: new full speed USB device using ohci_hcd and address 13
usb 1-2: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
usb 1-2: USB disconnect, address 13
usb 3-1: USB disconnect, address 2
--- End quote ---

How can I fdisk it if Linux doesn't create a device for it?

bluebrother:
Sorry, I possibly was a bit unclear. dmesg won't show you if the system created a device file for the Ipod. To me it looks like the ipod is detected (and the "disconnect" line gets added when you disconnect the Ipod). You can run "fdisk -l", this will display the partition table for all attached disks. Check for the disk size to find the Ipod. The Ipod also has (if the partition table on it isn't broken) a partition of type 0 (empty).
