Hi !
I tried your method to reformat my iPod from hfs to fat32 to access it from
Linux more easyly.
The backup firmware is 33554432 bytes long [jun 2 16:55 backup_firmware] or
32768kb. When I put back the firmware on /dev/sda1 I had a message saying it
was missing room but the partition was filled, missing I thing 12k!
Then I did the wrong thing, I unplugged the iPod and it tried to boot, stopping
with an Apple on the screen. The backup firmware has these words at the
beginning:
PP5020AF-05.00-PP07-05.00-PP07-05.00-DT.2003.10.30..(Build 04)..Digital Media Pl
atform..Copyright(c) 1999 - 2003 PortalPlayer, Inc. All rights reserved
So the iPos tried to boot and stopped with a white Apple on the screen (my iPod
is iPod photo 30 gb). All the buttons seem not to work, I cannot close the iPod
nor read it on /dev/sda (unable to mount /dev/sda). I tried a fdisk /dev/sda to
delete the 2 partitions and to give more room to /dev/sda1 and I got this
message:
Incapable d'ouvrir /dev/sda
wich means Impossible to open /dev/sda.
Is there something to do before bringing it back to the store to reformat it?
Should I try at the office with win2000 and the supplied cdrom?
If I wait until the battery is discharged, connecting the iPod should conduct
to the same behavior? ie trying to boot without success?
Thank you for taking the time to answer me !

p.s. In fact it is my younger son's iPod, he only has Linux Debian (Sarge) on
his box; my machine has Mandrake 10.1, Slackware 10 and Debian Sarge.
