I have a 40Gb iPod, and I use a firewire connection; Fedora 2, kernel
2.6.10.

I used to be able to connect the iPod OK, and used GTKPod a lot.  That
was some months ago - possibly when I was using Fedora 2 with a 2.4
kernel; I can't really remember.

Now when I plug in the iPod dmesg gives the usual

scsi2 : SCSI emulation for IEEE-1394 SBP-2 Devices

and then, after a few seconds I get

ieee1394: sbp2: Error logging into SBP-2 device - login timed-out
sbp2: probe of 000a270002735763-0 failed with error -16

I've just spent a couple of hours googling for a solution to this one,
but so far without success.  The only suggestions I could find, such
as rebooting, running the rescan-scsi-bus.sh script, etc., haven't
helped.

Any ideas?

Please ignore - problem solved.  Although my iPod was working fine
before all of this, it eventually seized up completely.  After I reset
it, Linux seemed to recognize it OK.
