[Bug-gnupod] i need your help, i messed ip my ipod

[Tomas Mezger]

hi,

i buy yesterday a new ipod-photo. since i'm using linux, i need to geit 
it to work.
i followed your instructions on this website 
http://www.gnu.org/software/gnupod/gnupod.html
and i have a little problem
since i only have usb2 on my computer, i don't need to load the module 
sbp2. this is only for firewire, right?
ok, no i copied the firmware and everything was ok. then i remade the 
partitiontable using pc-fdisk and everything was ok
then i copied the firmware to /dev/sda1 as you describe there... and 
everithing was ok... i formated /dev/sda2, and everything was ok...
then i unpluged my ipod and  it doesn't start. there is a symbol of a 
broken folder on the display.... i tryed the trik with the reboot and 
diskmode, but it comes the same broken folder as simbol on the display.

i didn't any firmware update... 'cause the link 
http://www.iweenie.com/ipod.shtml brings me to a very crazy website, 
where i can't find any firmware for the ipod.
is this the reason why my ipod doesn't work? do i have to do an update?

i hope you can help me!!!!
thankx a lot!!!!!!!!!!!
