I have a 20gb Ipod that I was able to mount and use on my old RH9 system. I recently went to Debian Sarge and now can not mount my Ipod. Below are some commands and results I've tried, so if anyone has any ideas I would appreciate it.


sudo mount -t vfat /dev/sda2 /mnt/ipod
mount: /dev/sda2 is not a valid block device

ls -al /mnt
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2005-02-12 14:01 ipod

jawalton@70chip:/mnt$ cat /proc/mounts
