After installing on a Sansa Rhapsody, all appeared well except for the error message "No rockbox directory, installation incomplete".
I've found this post, but it does not seem clear to me:
http://forums.rockbox.org/index.php?topic=15731.0That is, what is ./rockbox a reference to?
What is confusing in the original directions is this:
9. Download a recent Sansa e200 build of Rockbox from here and unzip it to the root of your device
Am I to unzip the 251 files right into the root directory of my player, or am I to make a rockbox directory in the root and put the files in there?
I've tried making a rockbox directory in the root of my player and dumping the files there, but had to use recovery mode after the device refused to start up. Restoration was smooth, back to original with no issues.
Currently after another installation attempt, Rockbox will partially load, but I cannot really do anything; cannot play songs, says my database is empty, etc. Same error message, No rockbox directory, installation incomplete.
I've followed all directions special to the R model with patching the bootloader and have had no issues. Everything went as instructed except for step 9 which is unclear to me. I've tried grabbing the files directly from WinZip (On XP) vs. unzipping them to a folder on my desktop and dropping them. Same result in either case.
Well, I feel dumb I found the answer to my own question. Winzip wasn't showing my the whole folder structure, so I used 7-zip instead. Showed the .rockbox directory which I dumped in the root and all is well.
Maybe someone else will find this useful.
