Can't mount ipod "mount: /dev/sdb2 is not a valid block device"

I have an ipod connected to the firewire card. When I try to mount it, I
receive the error "mount: /dev/sdb2 is not a valid block device"

I know the hardware is working, because the computer also boots into
Windows 2K, which connects to the ipod.

Any ideas where to look?

TIA,
Fred.
