Is there anyone else with the correct type of iPod (mine's a 30) unable to install the update?

The installer boots then instantly says my iPod is restarting with the new software.

Total bollocks It's not installing anything.

Tried different methods but no luck ... anyone able to help? Really don't want to have to click the "restore" button.

Mine seemed to install, then hang. When I unplugged it from my Mac, then the iPod screen showed the progress bar and the install completed.

There are numerous reports of people having trouble with the 2.1 update, before and after installation. You may want to wait to see how these pan out before you update, anyway. That's what I plan to do.

When installing 2.1 on a 3rd gen. 10GB iPod from a 12" PowerBook (using 10.2.8), I got an error message from the installer. Something to the effect of "The iPod is connected, but not mounted." I thought that odd, disconnected the iPod with intentions to immediately reconnect it... And the new firmware was being loaded; I had the screen with the Apple and the progress bar. No problems since.
