are you sure you didn't do any other changes? it looks like you don't have support for PC partitions. I just checked, the partition support cannot be compiled as a module (I use 2.6.5), here's what I have in that section:
Ahh. This was my first time turning "on" the Advanced Partition information. I hadn't turned on "enough" of the options. I now have the following and the iPod is STILL showing up as having no partitions on it...
CONFIG_PARTITION_ADVANCED=y # CONFIG_ACORN_PARTITION is not set # CONFIG_OSF_PARTITION is not set # CONFIG_AMIGA_PARTITION is not set # CONFIG_ATARI_PARTITION is not set CONFIG_MAC_PARTITION=y CONFIG_MSDOS_PARTITION=y CONFIG_BSD_DISKLABEL=y CONFIG_MINIX_SUBPARTITION=y CONFIG_SOLARIS_X86_PARTITION=y CONFIG_UNIXWARE_DISKLABEL=y # CONFIG_LDM_PARTITION is not set # CONFIG_NEC98_PARTITION is not set # CONFIG_SGI_PARTITION is not set # CONFIG_ULTRIX_PARTITION is not set # CONFIG_SUN_PARTITION is not set # CONFIG_EFI_PARTITION is not set
that's weird, I'd check:
(are you really running the kernel you think you are running?)
(is the iPod OK?)
if you're using firewire (I don't remember the beginning of the thread): these are the modules I load for iPod (I don't have any other firewire devices):
# firewire modprobe ieee1394 modprobe ohci1394 # firewire disk support (looks like scsi) modprobe sbp2
plus I run the rescan-scsi-bus.sh that I got somewhere (IIRC one of the iPod and linux sites), see attachement. The iPod is not usable (not visible) until you load the modules above and run the script.
this is my /etc/fstab line to mount iPod:
/dev/sdb3 /mnt/ipod hfsplus rw,user,noauto 0 0
don't remember why it's sdb3 (it's sdb because I have another disk on sda but I don't remember why it's sdb3, it's probably how the iPod disk is partitioned, there might be something else on sdb1 and sdb2)
BTW I had some problems with fdisk, I don't remember whether it was with iPod or SATA but if you can't see aprtition info using fdisk try to use cfdisk or other partitioning programs or just blindly mount /dev/sdb3 (or whatever the disk is on your system).
