definitely turns on and is recognized.
I've double checked my kernel compile against this one:

The attachment didn't come through, but I've found a copy of the script
via google.

I've followed the instructions from here for the 2.6.6 kernel (which is
what I'm using):
http://gtkpod.sourceforge.net/README
based on these instructions it *seems* as though I don't need to add an
entry to the /etc/fstab file.
--------------------
In /etc/auto.removable add
ipod -fstype=vfat :/dev/ipod
(Obviously you need to change the filesystem type when you use a
HFS formatted iPod.)
Then simply add a link from /mnt/ipod:
ln -s /var/autofs/removable/ipod /mnt/ipod
Now your system is configured to mount the iPod every time you access
/mnt/ipod and to unmount it again after two seconds of inactivity. You
won't have to worry about doing mounting/unmouting yourself any more.
