OK,

I was able to successfully mount and use my Ipod. I was using gtkpod to xfer 
MP3s onto my Ipod and it had successfully imported the songs over. I was in 
the process of updating the tags on some mp3s when my PC locked up. I was 
forced to reboot and every since I can't get my Ipod to mount. Below are 
some outputs that may be useful.


I am running RedHat9
And I've tried rebooting, witht he device plugged in and without it plugged 
in.

I have tried everything I did to make it work and I cant get it working 
again.

Anyone have any ideas? Also I need to set it up so I can umount the Ipod 
when I get ready to remove it from the PC. Everytime I try to umount it, I 
get a "can not unmount, device is busy error"
