     Have you installed ipod libraries from the package manager? I have an ipod nano, latest that I know of, and it recognizes that. With the Nano, it doesn't offer as much support as with older models, and in fact it only uses it at all because I chose to set it up as disk in Windows (necessary anyway to read videos in that I made WITH the Nano). I think you can get full support for a Classic, but have to install the library for it at least. Try at least installing "libgpod4" and "libgpod-common" - anything else they say they require.

@Larry Jordan:
theese libraries were installed. I just reinstalled them again now - no result.
@Mark Rijckenberg:
Thanks for the links. The first one is very interesting cause that's my situation ) But nothing helped me... Rebooting with ipod connected and resetting ipod too. Thanks for the links, though...

Still awaiting for other suggestions

I'd use a windows system to check the device. The disk doesn't sound healthy (or the lead you are using is bad)

@actionparsnip:
Thanks for advice. I've checked the disk with windows default disk-chck utility. It said, that everything is Ok.
