I took my ipod to one of the "geniuses" at the Mac store and he reformatted the hard drive.
Using the current stock dapper kernel (linux-image-2.6.15-26-686), I have succesfully used gtkpod to transfer music to the ipod (connected directly to the laptop, no hub). I no longer receive any Buffer I/O errors and everything appears to be working properly. Up to now, I have only transfered ~30 songs, so the test is limited, but I believe that in my case it was the ipod that was the problem. -- Ipods react badly to checks for EFI partition tables https://launchpad.net/bugs/37163 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
