Hopefully you guys can help me with this...
The bootloader installation went fine. I got the -1 error, then it reverted back to Apple's layout.
I plugged the iPod back in, reset it, held select+play to force it into disk mode. I then unzipped rockbox-ipodmini2g-20060913.zip straight into the iPod root directory.
I ejected the iPod in iTunes, unplugged it, and it froze at the "OK to disconnect" screen. Didn't respond to button presses, except for when I held select+menu to reboot.
Once I rebooted, it went into this endless cycle:
-Apple logo
-Rockbox fine print startup mumbo jumbo
-Rockbox logo for a split second
-Some other icon that looks like a plug or something for a split second
-Blank screen, as you would see when resetting it
-"Do not disconnect" screen for a few seconds
-Blank screen again
And somewhere in there you can hear the hard drive click once.
Rinse and Repeat.
Any ideas???
To be clear, my understanding is that I know I have the 2G mini because it says "4 GB" on the back.....is that true?
EDIT: I have since gone back to the Apple firmware, which works fine, until I can get this resolved. On an unrelated note, the battery icon now has the little "charging" lightning bolt next to it at all times. Any ideas on this?
