What model do you have?
Have you tried removing your entire .rockbox directory and reinstalling a current build?

Title: Re: Can't play any file ! Undefined Instruction at xxxxxxxx
Post by: o0butch0o on October 05, 2008, 08:49:54 PM: I have completly uninstalled everything and reinstaled it, and still have the same problem...

Post by: soap on October 05, 2008, 10:17:40 PM: Everything including the bootloader?
Perhaps a chkdsk of your iPod's HDD is in order.
How did you install Rockbox this time, and when was the first time you ever installed Rockbox?

There is no 40GB 3G. Do you have a 4G? Maybe you should google and figure out what model of Ipod you have.

Yes, including the bootloader

I use the install utility to install it.

First time I tried it was 9 month ago

does the version of the Ipod software can be an issue or is it completly independent ?

Should I format the HD ?

What file system should I use ?

I use the rockbox install utility to uninstall the bootloader and reinstalling it. (remove boolader an install bootloader button)

Am I doing it right ?

How do you suggest I proceed to do that ? Do you have a walkthrough or something like that ?

Thanks for you help !

Post by: Chronon on October 09, 2008, 11:25:05 AM: Eh, it's just a wild guess. I don't put too much stock in it yet since we haven't seen other people with the same problem.
