iP-od on usb 2.0

i am trying to use my ip-od on linux. this is what dmesg gives me.
Code:
usb 5-7: new high speed USB device using address 2
Initializing USB Mass Storage driver...
scsi1 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices
  Vendor: Apple     Model: iP-od              Rev: 1.62
  Type:   Direct-Access                      ANSI SCSI revision: 02
SCSI device sda: 78126048 512-byte hdwr sectors (40001 MB)
sda: Write Protect is off
sda: Mode Sense: 64 00 00 08
sda: assuming drive cache: write through
then i did:
# rmmod usb-storage
# modprobe usb-storage
# cd /mnt
# mkdir ip-od

so when i tried to mount it using:
# mount -t vfat /dev/sda2 ip-od
it says:
mount: special device /dev/sda2 does not exist

i mean the real name when i write ip-od. the forum doesnt alllow the full name

Are you sure the usb_storage module is the only module? Maybe the i-Pod needs an additional one?

Have you made it into a "Windows i-Pod"? If you haven't, you'll need to recompile your kernel with support for HFS+ and mac partition tables. Or you can convert it:
