I also can testify of this behaviour (with my iRiver E10). lsusb lists the device: Bus 005 Device 004: ID 1006:3010 iRiver, Ltd.
dmesg reports (when you simply plug it in): [ 7596.378642] usb 5-5: USB disconnect, address 4 [ 7600.871920] usb 5-5: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 5 [ 7601.006086] usb 5-5: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice [ 7601.032619] scsi4 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices [ 7601.043068] usb-storage: device found at 5 [ 7601.043075] usb-storage: waiting for device to settle before scanning [ 7606.066755] usb-storage: device scan complete [ 7606.070856] scsi scan: INQUIRY result too short (5), using 36 [ 7606.070856] scsi 4:0:0:0: Direct-Access PQ: 0 ANSI: 0 [ 7606.110934] sd 4:0:0:0: [sdb] Sector size 0 reported, assuming 512.
