I just got an ipod mini (4gb), and formatted it under windows. When I plug it in on linux, hotplug only creates a /dev/uba and not subsequent partitons (uba1, uba2, etc.). I'm using dropline gnome with HAL and dbus, and that seems to create ub* devices instead of sd* devices for things on the usb bus. I have all the needed modules loaded (2.6.11.4 kernel) inculding usbcore, uhci_hcd, and usb-storage. lsusb reports the ipod to exist, and /dev/uba goes away when the ipod is not in. I belive HAL might be responsible for this. I have my kernel compiled without EFI support as suggested in many guides pertaining to running the ipod mini under linux.
Thanks

EDIT:
More info:
A usb pen drive works fine with hal and registers all the partitions. Not only that, but I can't fdisk /dev/uba for the ipod. I think i'll re check the partition table under windows. It has been formatted already, I know that.
EDIT2:
I just tried it out on my gentoo box and it works fine (sda2 is detected and mounts). I use it for gaming though, so I really need this to work on my slack box.
EDIT3:
This looks like a kernel problem the more I think about it. Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks
