    I installed Linux on my 4gb iPod mini using the installer here http://ipodlinuxinstl.sourceforge.net/download.php It installed properly and all of the apps worked. I tried turning it off using the "Turn off" function and some code began to appear and my iPod turned off. I didn't have time to read it but I saw the words "kernel panic" and then it shut off. Now, my iPod doesn't turn on anymore. Any suggestions?

    Does it go to the boot screen with the black background and white apple? If that is the case, restart it and hold SELECT and PAUSE while it turns on. That will put it in safe mode, then connect it to iTunes. If it won't turn it on, do what i did to my friends. Hold MENU and the middle button (SELECT) and that should restart it. That is the only thing I can think of. Try plugging it into your computer. If all else fails, bring it into a technician, but what ever you do, don't tell them you put linux on it.
