[solved] cannot mount my ipod 80gb anymore :-(
faelnor:
I would like to add that I have the exact same problem with my Gigabeat F60. It started a few weeks ago, now Linux/OpenSolaris are unable to mount the device and Windows detects only an "unknown device" so I have no way to upgrade Rockbox to see if this was fixed in a very recent version.
Yesterday I managed, don't know how, to prevent the firmware from seeing Rockbox at boot ("bad system file" or something like that), asking me to plug the player. I did, and the USB connectivity worked perfectly, I was able to mount the disk- but didn't have the insight to delete rockbox then. And now I don't know how to boot in that mode again.
Meaning that the problem is very likely to originate from Rockbox itself rather than the hardware...

This is very unlikely. USB on ipod and gigabeat work totally different

How old is the rockbox bootloader on your gigabeat?
faelnor:
I installed a new .rockbox firmware 2 weeks ago, however the bootloader itself is around 1.5 years old.
When I'm home tonight, I'll try updating both bootloader & firmware using the HDD unplug-hotplug trick.
Army:
Ok, of course you are right :D Otherwise it would appear as /dev/sdb and /dev/sdc and not /dev/sdb1 and /dev/sdb2 ...
Well, I found a Sandisk Sansa e280 on eBay being sold by a Rockbox user, so this is gonna be my replacement, but still it would be great to solve this problem, because this f***ing iPod was expensive! :D
Thanks again for all your input!!
faelnor:
My problem is solved as well with a bootloader and firmware upgrade. Maybe something got corrupted.
Rock on.
EDIT : btw, sorry Army for hijacking your thread :)
