After getting the firmware update on my friends Windows xp machine, i
updated the firmware. Gentoo still mounts the ipod, but now ipod gives
this error which was not there before:
$ ipod
Listening for iPod-specific HAL events...
** Message: Device Added: /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/volume_uuid_8F6F_30E8
glibtop: This machine has 1 CPUs, 1 are being monitored.
