Hi all.
Since 2.6.16.18 (i think) my ipod mini wasn't recognized anymore. I read a lot about a couple of parches applied to the kernel mainstream, for example:
Code:

[PATCH] sbp2: add read_capacity workaround for iPod
Apple decided to copy some USB stupidity over to FireWire.
The sector number returned by iPods from read_capacity is one too many.
This may cause I/O errors, especially if the kernel is configured for EFI
partition support. We use the same workaround as usb-storage but have to
check for different model IDs.

...and others. Also, i read about disabling EFI partitions.
Well, the patch and all is supposed to be in the latest kernel source and i have EFI partitions disabled. In fact, it is recognized but the usb subsystem don't assign a device file so you can't mount it.
Here is the only output i get:
Code:
Jul 20 00:11:21 gilead kernel: usb 1-1: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 4
Jul 20 00:11:22 gilead kernel: usb 1-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice

Jul 20 00:11:22 gilead kernel: USB Mass Storage support registered.
Jul 20 00:11:22 gilead kernel: ub(1.4): GetMaxLUN returned 0, using 1 LUNs
I don't what could be happening. I googled a lot, only to find the two solutions above (didn't work for me).
Any ideas?
The ipod has the latest firmware (1.4.1) and my distro is Slackware 10.2+patches. If any other info is needed, please tell me.
Thanks...
