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

[Joachim Beckers]

I know that's a workaround, but not for everyone IMO. Imagine a laptop that has only one USB port (quite common right?). Now imagine that the user of this laptop cannot use his iPod trough a USB hub. It'll quickly become a hassle to switch cables all the time (even more so if there's a USB mouse connected, that the user will not be able to use while the iPod is connected). I could go on, but I guess you see my point.

Also, for the owners of this thing:

connecting without a hub is simply impossible. It's just a hub with a iPod dock connector mounted on top. I have one of those.

I'm thinking this issue should be reported upstream. can anyone fix that in launchpad? I'm not sure how to do that.
