It's an Ipod, but im going to use it as a firewire drive

this is the dmesg after I use that command SCSI subsystem initialized sbp2: $Rev: 1219 $ Ben Collins <bcollins@debian.org> edit: and I dont have anything that starts with "Sd" in that folder ... *goes off to read the tutorial*

Yeah, I made that dir awhile ago /dev/sdxx does not work [root@localhost admin]# mount -t vfat /dev/sda /mnt/ipod mount: special device /dev/sda does not exist [root@localhost admin]# mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/ipod mount: special device /dev/sda1 does not exist [root@localhost admin]# mount -t vfat /dev/sda2 /mnt/ipod mount: /dev/sda2 is not a block device I think something is up with my firewire card. even though my ipod is getting power through it. when i type "tail -f /var/log/messages" and plug-in my ipod. nothing shows up also, this is my dmesg ieee1394: Node changed: 0-01:1023 -> 0-00:1023 ieee1394: Node suspended: ID:BUS[0-00:1023] GUID[000a270002bcd1ed] ieee1394: Node changed: 0-00:1023 -> 0-01:1023 ieee1394: Node resumed: ID:BUS[0-01:1023] GUID[000a270002bcd1ed] ieee1394: The root node is not cycle master capable; selecting a new root node and resetting... ieee1394: Node changed: 0-01:1023 -> 0-00:1023 ieee1394: Node changed: 0-00:1023 -> 0-01:1023 ieee1394: Node changed: 0-01:1023 -> 0-00:1023 ieee1394: Node suspended: ID:BUS[0-00:1023] GUID[000a270002bcd1ed] ieee1394: Node resumed: ID:BUS[0-00:1023] GUID[000a270002bcd1ed] ieee1394: Node changed: 0-00:1023 -> 0-01:1023 and this is my lsmod ieee1394 292056 2 eth1394,ohci1394 ohci1394 30788 0

aight well I to mount the ipod I need the command mount -t vfat <what goes here> /mnt/ipod [root@localhost admin]# lsmod | grep ieee1394 ieee1394 292056 2 eth1394,ohci1394

well yup I spent about a hr with someone in #mandriva and it turns out It doesnt support firewire :-< I'm running Mandrake 10.1 btw

I'm trying to mount my ipod (as a firewire drivE), but its a firewire device. and my kernal doesnt support firewire. can anyone tell me how to patch it to support firewire? I tried reading some tutorials online. but couldnt make any sense out of it [moved from Software by spinynorman]

my desktop http://img242.imageshack.us/img242/8305/snapshot16em.jpg first day using mandrake :-D

Thanks that post helped me alot one problem though [admin@localhost admin]$ su Password: [root@localhost admin]# mkdir /mnt/ipod [root@localhost admin]# mount -t fat32 /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part1 /mnt/ipod mount: fs type fat32 not supported by kernel I believe fat32 has a different name on linux? thats probably the problem edit: snooped around the console and changed fat32 --> vfat now this error occurs [admin@localhost admin]$ su Password: [root@localhost admin]# mount -t vfat /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part1 /mnt/ipod mount: special device /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part1 does not exist [root@localhost admin]# I simply copied the dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part1 from a seperate post about mounting a firewire device. anyone have any clue what it should be?

yup alt+F2 works, any idea what directory it install it too though? for futher application installations? and I Fixed my keyboard btw :-P. I Just changed it from "us keyboard (international)" to --> "us keyboard" thanks

Yeah....when I wrote that post I didnt even know what mounting was. I Messed around a bit in the forums and Konsole and figured out this is the command I need mount -t fat32 /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part1 /mnt/ipod but to do that, I need to create a /mnt/ipod. and I cannot create that without logging in under root. can anyone tell me how to change to login screen from the windows-xp-kinda login to a windows-98 kinda login? so I can type in root, right now I can only select my user (Admin)

Okay Im having a few problems thus far with my new install 1) I installed Gaim, successfully. but where does it put the file! I cant find the file to run gaim anywhere! :-S 2) the apostrophe doesnt work on my keyboard.

Hello all, New to Mandrake here..... Before I formatted my windows drive I dumped 16GB of music in it, threw explorer, not Itunes. so how would I get Mandrake to reconize it as a regular external drive? also, can anyone suggestion a good music playing software? Amarok is so sluggish and makes my comp lag out all the time
