 |
|
I am trying to get my ipod touch 8GB to be recognized by my system.
It gets discovered by usb:
| Code: | # lsusb
Bus 001 Device 006: ID 05ac:129e Apple, Inc.
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 1307:0330 Transcend Information, Inc.
Bus 001 Device 004: ID 0409:005a NEC Corp. HighSpeed Hub
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 003 Device 002: ID 047d:1013 Kensington Mouse*in*a*Box Optical Pro
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub |
I use 05ac as vendor ID and 129e as product ID in my /etc/udev/rules.d/60-ipod.rules file
| Code: | # cat /etc/udev/rules.d/60-ipod.rules
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="05ac", ATTRS{idProduct}=="129e",KERNEL=="sd?2", SYMLINK+="ipod", MODE=="0664", GROUP=="plugdev" |
But the device node or its symlink is never created by udev:
| Code: | # ls /dev/i*
/dev/initctl
/dev/input:
by-id by-path event0 event1 event2 event3 event4 mice mouse0 |
and
| Code: | ls /dev/sd*
/dev/sda /dev/sda1 /dev/sdb /dev/sdc /dev/sdd /dev/sde |
If anyone has a clue what could be wrong, please give me some advice

Minor note: 'plugdev' group serves no purpose unless you're using hal.
Also, your rule shouldn't really affect creation of a sd* node, if one should be created.
So:
- are you sure that 8GB can actually be seen as a block device ? perhaps it's accesible only indirectly
- what's your kernel config in regard of usb_storage ? |

Can I remove GROUP=="plugdev" and KERNEL=="sd?2" then? Or should there be any other value for KERNEL==?

No, I am not sure about this actually.
Regarding usb_storage:
| Code: | cat /usr/src/linux/.config | grep STORAGE
# NOTE: USB_STORAGE enables SCSI, and 'SCSI disk support'
# may also be needed; see USB_STORAGE Help for more information
CONFIG_USB_STORAGE=y
# CONFIG_USB_STORAGE_DEBUG is not set
# CONFIG_USB_STORAGE_DATAFAB is not set
# CONFIG_USB_STORAGE_FREECOM is not set
# CONFIG_USB_STORAGE_ISD200 is not set
# CONFIG_USB_STORAGE_DPCM is not set
# CONFIG_USB_STORAGE_USBAT is not set
CONFIG_USB_STORAGE_SDDR09=y
CONFIG_USB_STORAGE_SDDR55=y
# CONFIG_USB_STORAGE_JUMPSHOT is not set
# CONFIG_USB_STORAGE_ALAUDA is not set
# CONFIG_USB_STORAGE_ONETOUCH is not set
# CONFIG_USB_STORAGE_KARMA is not set
# CONFIG_USB_STORAGE_CYPRESS_ATACB is not set |
By the way, I do have hal installed:
| Code: | # emerge --search hal
Searching...

[ Applications found : 12 ]

What messages appear in syslog upon attaching that ipod ?
Any chance it's hps, not vfat and you simply lack the correct partition type/filesystem support ? |

I do have support for hfs and hfs+ in my kernel (version 2.6.27-gentoo-r8)
| Code: | # cat /usr/src/linux/.config | grep HFS
CONFIG_HFS_FS=y
CONFIG_HFSPLUS_FS=y
# CONFIG_SQUASHFS is not set |
My kernel version is:
| Code: | # uname -a
Linux phils_pc 2.6.27-gentoo-r8 #3 SMP PREEMPT Sat Dec 5 17:05:24 CET 2009 i686 AMD Phenom(tm) 9550 Quad-Core Processor AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux
|
This is the messages from /var/log/messages when I connect the ipod
| Code: | # tail /var/log/messages
......
Feb 14 20:23:14 localhost kernel: usb 1-5.3: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 5
Feb 14 20:23:15 localhost kernel: usb 1-5.3: configuration #1 chosen from 4 choices |
Here may be a clue. Should'nt there be a message something like DaNe got with dmesg here:
https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-692263-highlight-ipod+dmesg.html
In other words shouldn'nt dmesg (or /var/log/messages) report that the kernel has assigned a name, like sdb: sdb1 sdb2 (as in DaNe's case) to the ipod disk. There is no such information in my output from dmesg (/var/log/messages).
The strange thing is that if I connect e.g. a usb memory stick, dmesg reports
| Code: | Feb 14 20:36:36 localhost kernel: usb 1-5.1: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 6

Feb 14 20:36:41 localhost kernel: usb-storage: device scan complete
|
That is, the kernel assigns the name sdf1 to my usb memory stick. But nothing for the ipod.............

Is CONFIG_MAC_PARTITION also on ?
Though your kernel is surprisingly old. |

It may be that there is no choice for CONFIG_MAC_PARTITION in my old kernel
| Code: | # cat /usr/src/linux/.config | grep CONFIG_MAC_PARTITION
# |
...... gives nothing...
From which version of the kernel is CONFIG_MAC_PARTITION included? Is it needed for sure, to be able to mount the ipod?

| Well, I don't know when it was added, but it should be inside "Partition Types" menu. |
