Open up your iPod updater, it will have an option to restore it to factory settings.

Never experienced that. You could probably fool around with the files on the ipod's hard drive but i recommend going to ipod linux's "fairly active" forums.

http://ipodlinux.org/forums/

Just checked the forums and alot of people have the same problem: http://ipodlinux.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=6941
(Guy at bottom of page posted how to fix it)

Good luck, i hope you get it fixed!
