iPod 4g mounting - unmounting in cicrles without stoping - now is dead!

(1/2) > >>

liticovjesac:
Hi everybody
I am using rockbox for maybe one year and it worked perfectly.  I am runnig archlinux.
Yesterday by mistake I erase everything from my iPod usinr rsync :((( But I manage very easy to reinstall rockbox. I used latest build with automatic installation. So, everything was working ok. I could play my podcast, music, turn on -off.
Today when I run out of battery I tried to connect ipod via usb (as usual) to my computer. And then iPod start behaving badly. It tries to mount without success. Computer sendig message naming several suggestion (none worked), and the iPOd goes to storage mode and then reboot to rockbox, and then storage mod and then...You get it. Then I have to pull the usb cable to stop this vicious circle.
Same happend when I plugged to my apple computer.
Any idea what should I do?

GodEater:
Can you boot it into the original firmware okay ?

liticovjesac:
Never need it after installation of rockbox. How do I do that?

Found it.
Yes I can boot with original firmware.
I CANT mount on my linux box. I can mount on my apple computer.

GodEater:
Post the output from dmesg after you plug it in to your linux box.

liticovjesac:
After I pluged in iPod in mac I have some apple created files there. I am able to mount on my linux box and emediatly after rockbox theme player goes to storge mode. Now I can delete an copy files. Will try another installation with stable version
