ipod update leaves me unmountable

[andrewgreer]

Was eager to apply the new iPod update, seemed reasonable when at the end of the update it instructed me to unplug and replug my iPod to finish updating. Now it won't mount at all. My iPod just shows a picture of a plug--I plug it in the firewire but the screen goes blank again as if it were turned off and no iPod appears on my mac.

I have a Lombard with a Orangelink card--it really works great. Until now.

I have a faint memory of this happening when I first got my iPod, made mistakes, restored the factory settings. I've tried restarting with the iPod connected, which is what I did that time, but no go. System Profiler finds no Firewire devices--just the card. Any ideas?
