Can't help you there.

Here's the link I was talking about earlier: http://jwz.livejournal.com/801607.html

In theory, you should be able to mount the image ( mount -t hfsplus osx.img /mnt/osx ), and then using rsync, clone the files from the mounted image to another HFS+ partition that you have already mounted, making it bootable. I've never tried it though.

I found a link for dumping the image properly. Thanks, however.

But, still. Anyone have help for an iPod? Or any device that won't be recognized in general?

Alright.

Here are three dmesg outputs, one before the iPod was plugged in, one after, and one when using diff .

All attached.

As you can see, it SEES that the USB was plugged in. But, I can't see it anywhere else, even with lsusb .

How can I get it to be shown under lsusb?

Anyoneee?

Easiest way is to dist-upgrade to hardy; the latest ipods (i.e. classic) should then work (i use rhythmbox on debian sid and it works fine)

yeah my friend has good sucess with debian sid/rythmbox with his new nano, so try that
