The issue you are referring to I believe is with USB (and also with 4G  
iPods) - requiring a kernel recompile to work over usb. I'm using  
firewire - and it works just fine, except the occasional have to plug  
it in twice (hard drive spinup time??) to get it recognized, and the do  
not disconnect message once it is connected, mounted or not.

It's not *that* big of an issue, I set things up to mount through  
autofs instead of through hal, so it is only mounted when gtkpod is  
running and talking to it - and is quickly unmounted when gtkpod no  
longer is talking to it. So I just don't unplug it when I'm syncing and  
it's fine.
