External Drives (iPod and Pen Drives)
I've got an iPod which I had working fine in SuSE, Mandrake etc. and a Cruzer Mini which I've never managed to get working (I was using an old kernel at the time). Anyhow I've been trying to get them working with no success, can someone please help me?
when I plug in my pen drive I get the following from dmesg Code:
usb 2-3: new full speed USB device using address 4 Code:
usb 2-3: new full speed USB device using address 4 |
Do you have anything listed under /dev/sda1 or 2 for example?
ls /dev/ | grep sd cdrecord --scanbus http://neuron.com/~jason/ipod.html http://pag.lcs.mit.edu/~adonovan/hacks/ipod.html http://www.cs.duke.edu/~geha/ipod/ You could run into the problem I had, the ipod wasn't formated yet. Downside for me was i don't have mac/windows at home, so i had to buy a firewire card for my desktop at work (windows) run the software to format the drive and then I was able to use it in Linux. |
under /dev/sda I have 1 to 15 listed
if I do cdrecord --scanbus i get command not found:scratch: The iPod is definitely formatted, as I say I've been using it in SuSE with gtkpod for a while now with no problems but I'm finally looking to get rid of SuSE and go fully slack :D if I try doing fdisk /dev/sda I get "Unable to open /dev/sda" similar messages for sdb etc. I had a try doing tail /var/log/messages and got [CODE] Apr 6 07:57:14 darkstar ieee1394.agent[1031]: ... no drivers for IEEE1394 product 0x000000/0x00609e/0x010483 Apr 6 07:57:14 darkstar kernel: scsi1 : SCSI emulation for IEEE-1394 SBP-2 Devices Apr 6 07:57:15 darkstar kernel: ieee1394: sbp2: Logged into SBP-2 device Apr 6 07:57:15 darkstar scsi.agent[1049]: bogus sysfs DEVPATH=/devices/platform/host1/1:0:0:0 Apr 6 07:57:15 darkstar kernel: Vendor: Apple Model: iPod Rev: 1.30 Apr 6 07:57:15 darkstar kernel: Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02 [CODE] any ideas? |

You couldn't use mkfs? |
dhbiker,
Oops, forgot you said it ran under suse ;0 Mine runs off of sda2 Check out this link and start around step 6 http://www.cs.duke.edu/~geha/ipod/ Might need to check above and make sure you have the correct modules in your kernel. MS3FGX, as far ask mkfs, i new it either needed to be fat or hfs and i didn't want to take a chance in breaking it since I just bought it. ;) Either way, it works! |

You could also check out that thread to see some of the things i did. |
Still no luck :cry:
I don't have any kernel modules (everything I needed I built into the kernel). I have an incling it may be something to do with Code:
Apr 6 15:59:16 darkstar ieee1394.agent[30868]: ... no drivers for IEEE1394 product 0x000000/0x00609e/0x010483 any further ideas? I have firewire support and sbp support compiled as part of the kernel (2.6.3) |

Have you followed the directions from that site ^ ?
|
I downloaded the script and tried it, I get nadda, nothing, squat, zip, zero :cry:
Code:
root@darkstar:/home/dhraimsy# sh rescan-scsi-bus.sh |
cat /proc/bus/ieee1394/devices
What do you have? fdisk /dev/sda What shows up? <---- Don't write/change anything just view and exit I would suggest makeing these modules in your kernel: Quote:
Code:
scsi_mod Code:
modprobe -a ieee1394 From this error you got above, looks like sbp2 is haveing problems. Quote:
rmmod sbp2 insmod sbp2 BUT, since you have them compiled in, you probably cant remove them can you ;-) Like i said before, i would strongly recommend recompiling your kernel w/ modules. That way once you get it working and use gtkpod or something else you can have it rmmod and eject your ipod "safely" k? |
cat /proc/bus/ieee1394/devices
I get a "No such file or directory" will try re-compiling my kernel with modules (once I manage to get my machine compiling things again :( !!http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...hreadid=167265)as you suggest and then get back to you |
thanks for all the help!! I recompiled my kernel and everything works now:D

Great!
