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

<< < (2/2)

GodEater:
Why are you trying to mount /dev/sdb1 as a FAT32 partition?

That's the firmware partition, and doesn't contain any file system at all. You should only be trying to mount /dev/sdb2.

liticovjesac:
Well I am not trying anything :) It was like that from the begining. I realy dont know hot to change that anoing behaviour. Any suggestions?
Anyhow I made some progress. I was able to run autoinstaller from my linux box and I've installed stable release this time. Unmount, unplugged than plugged again and everythhing works. Thou system is still trying to mount both iPod partitions but it is important that it mounts corectly one with all music and podcasts. File transfer was done OK and it playes music ;) We shal see how it behave in the future.
Thanx for helping me.

GodEater:
Can you get a print out of the partition table from your ipod? If your box is trying to mount it automatically it sounds like the firmware partition is not marked as empty, but rather as a FAT32 partition (which it isn't).

liticovjesac:
Here it is


--- Code: ---Disk /dev/sdb: 19073 cylinders, 64 heads, 32 sectors/track
Warning: The partition table looks like it was made
  for C/H/S=*/143/62 (instead of 19073/64/32).
For this listing I'll assume that geometry.
Units = cylinders of 4539392 bytes, blocks of 1024 bytes, counting from 0

   Device Boot Start     End   #cyls    #blocks   Id  System
/dev/sdb1          0+      9-     10-     40131    0  Empty
start: (c,h,s) expected (0,1,2) found (0,1,1)
end: (c,h,s) expected (9,8,35) found (4,254,63)
/dev/sdb2          9+   4405-   4397-  19491349    b  W95 FAT32
start: (c,h,s) expected (9,8,36) found (5,0,1)
/dev/sdb3          0       -       0          0    0  Empty
/dev/sdb4          0       -       0          0    0  Empty

--- End code ---

edit.
My iPod is dead now.
I wanted to copy some music from external usb disk to my ipod. I've conneceted a disk. Then I unplugged iPod and plugged it again, it mounted it self and after few seconds icon just dissapear from the screen. Nothing on the iPod screeen. Can't start boot process, when I plugg it in my computers no reaction at all (both mac and linux box). Nothig. Dead. Is it possible to fry something in the iPod?
