Apple Ipod doesn't work with USB on linux (but works with FireWire)

Hi,
i recently purchased a new Ipod Mini which i initially used via Firewire on my Laptop with windows.
Then i tried to change to Linux (using gtkpod for managing my playlists). Because i want to leave the
firewire cable connected to the laptop, i tried using the USB variant on Linux. My first try was with
SuSE 9.0 and a 2.4.x kernel. Unfortunately with no success. Same errors as you see here (now with
SuSE 9.2 and kernel 2.6.8).

so i removed the firewire cable from the laptop and attached it to my workstation. As you can
see everything is fine now. I suspect it has something to do with the usb mass storage
driver.

so any idea why the Ipod is not working as a storage device? Other devices like my digicam
(USB 1.0) are working as storage device.
