I'm having trouble getting my iPod working under Centos 4. I was hoping someone else using their iPod with Centos 4 could shed some light on this.
When I attach my iPod via USB, I get these messages: 19:36:44 brahma kernel: usb 1-8: new high speed USB device using address 2 19:36:45 brahma kernel: Initializing USB Mass Storage driver... 19:36:45 brahma kernel: scsi2 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices 19:37:35 brahma kernel: usb 1-8: reset high speed USB device using address 2 19:37:51 brahma kernel: scsi: Device offlined - not ready after error recovery: host 2 channel 0 id 0 lun 0
I had no problems getting my iPod to work under Centos 3 (2.4.x kernel), once I had recompiled without the EFI partition option. In this case I don't think EFI is a factor though, as the device isn't even making it to the partition scanning stage.
I tried using just the slower uhci_hcd but got the same results. Then I tried using the latest FC3 kernel (2.6.11-1.35_FC3), and surprise, the iPod mounts (with ehci) without any problems.
Obviously I'd prefer to run the RHEL/Centos kernel though, even if it requires a small patch. At least then I know what's changed.
EFI is a factor. I had this problem with an iPod Mini and had to recompile the kernel with that flag turned off.

In this case, I tried with EFI disabled (just to cover all bases) and it has no effect, because, as I said, it never gets far enough to even scan the partition table.

Sorry, didn't catch that. That's really odd. My experience with CentOS 4 was similar error, but recompiling the kernel with EFI disabled fixed it. What iPod is it?

I agree, it's odd. It's an iPod mini 4GB. Maybe variations in the USB controller are coming into play. On my searches I've seen other people complain that they had USB hard drives (other than the iPod) work under older 2.6.x kernels, then break in later versions, then work again in 2.6.11. So maybe it's a bug in interaction with my USB controller that was later fixed, but the fix wasn't backported to the RHEL4 kernel.

What version of the iPod? I had a problem with mine where I had to format it for Windows on a Windows box before it would work.

About on the iPod says: Version 1.2 Model M9434LL Format Windows
It does mount under Centos 3 (2.4.x), as well as 2.6.11-1.35_FC3. Just not RHEL/Centos 4's 2.6.9-11.
