[Bug 37163] Re: Ipods react badly to checks for EFI partition tables

[Matthew Garrett]

The alternate gpt tends to be at the end of the disk - I suspect that
the EFI partition table check attempts to read from the last block
declared by the ipod, the scsi layer chokes (due to that block not
actually existing) and then everything falls over. The real issue is why
the USB quirk is executed when the hardware is plugged in directly, but
not when via a hub.

** Summary changed:

- EFI-support in kernel causes I/O errors with iPods
+ Ipods react badly to checks for EFI partition tables
