it is recognized as a scsi disk, if you have, as said in another answer, modules ieee1394, ohci1394 and sbp2
typing dmesg, you should see at the bottom, the name of the scsi device/partition related to your ipod
you can mount it, if you have hfsplus compiled in the kernel, in that way
mount -t hfsplus /dev/sda3 /mnt/whereveryoulike
before take off the fw plug, you should
rmmod sbp2
as user root
to extract mp3's i use (and also to put them into the ipod :-)) gtkpod (apt-get install gtkpod), which reads the iTunesDB and it's easy to use
bye, ptt
