iPod nano issues


i've had an iPod nano running fine on Linux for a while. i'd been using gtkpod without any problems.

However, recently something has started happening. It seems that the ability to write the the iPod times out after a while. If i'm copying music to it it'll get so far then give me a write error (same with reading, actually).

In XP, however, everything's fine and i can read/write without any issues.

It's possible that a 'iPod Updater' was run on it (i had some other problems and someone fixed it but i'm not sure what they did) - does anyone know if that could have anything to do with it?

Yeah, i did but it had problems writing to the drive.

Resolved it though: it turned out to be an issue with the USB port rather than the iPod. Switching to a different port fixed the problem. It was a front-mounted port (connect via a lead to the MoBo) rather than one on the 'board; i'm wondering if the drivers/hardware don't work as they should in this instance.

Nope, they're all 2.0 (just checked the MoBo's site).

hmm, are you sure the correct modules are being loaded by your kernel. e.g ehci
