[Bug 37163] Re: EFI-support in kernel causes I/O errors with iPods

[Joachim Beckers]

so, to add it all up:

1) the current breezy kernel fries ipods

2) whether they're connected trough a hub or not

3) because there's a problem with it's firmware and how EFI handles the
ipod's requests

4) and the patch that everyone is talking about is in the kernel already:
see: http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/testing/ChangeLog-2.6.10-rc2 (search for "Add unusual_devs entry for iPod")

5) the patch doesn't do what it should do

possible solutions:
* recompiling the kernel without EFI support
* fix the kernel


** Changed in: linux-source-2.6.15 (Ubuntu)
