I needed to do something in windows, so I rebooted from gnome. I think I physically disconnected iPod before choosing reboot, but it is possible I chose reboot and then physically disconnected. Here's the panic that resulted: ieee 1394: sbp2: aborting sbp2 command Test Unit Ready 00 00 00 00 00 Kernel panic - not syncing : drivers/ieee1394/sb2.c:505: spin_is_locked on uninitialized spinlock c3237ac8 Hardware: A7N8X Deluxe w/ built in FireWire Additional Belkin FireWire card in PCI slot Fom lspci: 00:0d.0 FireWire (IEEE 1394): nVidia Corporation nForce2 FireWire (IEEE 1394) Controller (rev a3) 01:09.0 FireWire (IEEE 1394): Texas Instruments TSB12LV26 IEEE-1394 Controller (Link) If it matters, the iPod connects to the onboard IEEE 1394 (the TI card is only there for times when I need to connect a second 6-pin firewire device, rare) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.6.10-1.741_FC3 How reproducible: Couldn't Reproduce Steps to Reproduce: This has only happened to me once - I've been connecting the iPod for about a month (Christmas gift) Additional info:
