I have an old IPod that I figure will work well for my 12-year old daughter. It is 3rd generation with FireWire. I haven't synced it in a couple of years. At the time, I was using Amarok, libgpod, and the old Linux FireWire stack. The new FireWire stack (gentoo-sources-2.6.39-r4) produces the following output when I insert the IPod. [121351.854499] firewire_core: phy config: card 0, new root=ffc1, gap_count=5 [121351.954091] firewire_core: phy config: card 0, new root=ffc1, gap_count=5 [121352.054088] firewire_core: phy config: card 0, new root=ffc1, gap_count=5 [121361.165444] firewire_core: phy config: card 0, new root=ffc1, gap_count=5 [121361.265093] firewire_core: phy config: card 0, new root=ffc1, gap_count=5 [121361.365099] firewire_core: phy config: card 0, new root=ffc1, gap_count=5 [121361.465086] firewire_core: phy config: card 0, new root=ffc1, gap_count=5 [121367.708918] firewire_ohci: isochronous cycle inconsistent [121367.708964] firewire_core: giving up on config rom for node id ffc1 [121367.708982] firewire_core: phy config: card 0, new root=ffc0, gap_count=5 [147921.339133] firewire_ohci: isochronous cycle inconsistent [147938.316758] firewire_core: giving up on config rom for node id ffc1 [147944.696557] firewire_core: phy config: card 0, new root=ffc1, gap_count=5 [149164.514944] firewire_core: giving up on config rom for node id ffc1 [149186.253256] firewire_ohci: isochronous cycle inconsistent [153367.306689] firewire_core: giving up on config rom for node id ffc1 [169294.564788] firewire_core: phy config: card 0, new root=ffc1, gap_count=5 I can mount it in kernel-2.6.36-gentoo-r5 using the old stack. However, the new stack is not able to identify the device. So, I can't mount it. Please let me know if any additional information is needed. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Boot with new FireWire stack 2.Insert IPod 3.

Have you tried the iPod with the latest 3.0.6 kernel?
Updated gentoo-sources to: 3.0.6-gentoo dmesg now shows the following when inserting the iPod: [21658.043779] firewire_ohci 0000:00:0d.0: PCI INT A -> Link[APCM] -> GSI 20 (level, high) -> IRQ 20 [21658.043790] firewire_ohci 0000:00:0d.0: setting latency timer to 64 [21658.094082] firewire_ohci: Added fw-ohci device 0000:00:0d.0, OHCI v1.10, 4 IR + 4 IT contexts, quirks 0x0 [21658.094127] pci 0000:00:1e.0: can't derive routing for PCI INT B [21658.094131] firewire_ohci 0000:03:00.1: PCI INT B: no GSI - using ISA IRQ 5 [21658.094352] firewire_ohci: isochronous cycle inconsistent [21658.345009] firewire_ohci: failed to read phy reg [21658.345065] pci 0000:00:1e.0: can't derive routing for PCI INT B [21658.345084] firewire_ohci: probe of 0000:03:00.1 failed with error -16 [21658.595319] firewire_core: created device fw0: GUID 00e01800005c9fad, S400 lspci -v: 00:0d.0 FireWire (IEEE 1394): nVidia Corporation nForce2 FireWire (IEEE 1394) Controller (rev a3) (prog-if 10 [OHCI]) Subsystem: ASUSTeK Computer Inc.

Can you try unloading and load firewire-ohci and then plugging in the iPod? modprobe -r firewire-ohci modprove firewire-ohci
