I can understand that. :)

Odd that it worked fine before with the same versions of gtkpod and
libgpod.  I don't think any kernel changes would have cause this, but
it's possible.  If you wanted to test that you could install a 2.6.17
kernel package and try gtkpod then.

I think Jamie was onto something when he asked if iTunes has updated
your ipod firmware recently.  Older versions of libgpod had problems
with a zero length sysinfo file on the ipod.  The latest version
handles is AFAIK.

The latest stable releases are:

    libgpod-0.4.0
    gtkpod-0.99.8

I've been using the latest libgpod/gtkpod with my 4th and 5th gen
ipods for ages and they've worked very well together.  (And, oddly, I
had a problem unmounting/ejecting my 5th gen ipod under all the FC5
kernels up until 2.6.18.)

I don't think so, the folks at Livna do a good job at packaging
things.  But the versions are badly outdated.  libgpod is in core,
amarok is in extras, and gtkpod is from livna.  I don't know what it
would take to get libgpod updated in core.  It appears that the same
ancient version is included in FC6 as well. :(

If Jamie's suggestion about the sysinfo file doesn't help and you try
a 2.6.17 kernel and find it's still not working, I'd suggest trying to
update libgpod/gtkpod.  That's not a fun thing if you've never done
it, but it's very good to know how to do.  I can send you rpm spec
files for those if you want to build packages.
