Hi, I am currently running debian lenny with the kernel 2.6.23 (from kernel.org).
I am not ble to mount the ipod as I keep getting an error message
(pasted below).

But, I can mount my key drive and memory cards from my camera without
any problems.
I also tried with the kernel from debian (2.6.22-3-686). Still, the same
problem. In fact, this behaviour is seen even under the amd64 port as
well as ubuntu (feisty) with the kernel 2.6.20-15-generic). But, on the
same machine, the ipod mounts without any problem with kernel 2.6.18.
Anyone else facing similar problems and has a workaround, please point
me to the relevant docs so that I can solve this.
Regards,
