Comment:
Whoa, your /dev/ directory looks like a static one. What did you do to
poor udev?

With udev not running, the device nodes are in group 'disk', which means
that hal cannot access them (they need to be in group 'plugdev' for
removable drives). Also, your kernel does not recognize a partition
table on the iPod. That might be normal if there really aren't any
partitions, but looks suspicious.

Can you please try the default breezy or dapper (whatever release you
are using), reinstall udev, and check again?
