I am still getting the cannot find rockbox.ipod error no matter what build I use whether rockbox.ipod is in the root or the .rockbox folder.

I have checked and double checked my bootloader as version 1.1 both with the ipodpatcher program and one I built from source.

I did format my iPod using the mbr files from the IpodFat32 wiki, but I am relatively sure that is correct since ipodpatcher and iTunes both report it as a winpod with 2048mb sectors.

(I think my next step may be to try to install windows on my mac and go from there. That is the EXTREMELY long method)

knight4led:
You shouldn't need to reformat if your iPod was connected to a PC first.

I had to reformat because Rockbox only recognizes players with a FAT32 partition, and since I am on a Mac, my iPod defaulted to HFS+. I never bothered to worry about that difference until it was anounced that iPod 80gig support came to Rockbox.

If you are unsure which partition type your iPod has, connect it to your computer and run ipodpatcher. When the screen comes up with all the info it should identify it as a winpod

GodEater:
I'm still not certain what folder structure you're using y2kcpi1 - saying "everything in the .rockbox folder" doesn't actually tell me much.

I've installed my 80GB from linux - it's not tricky, just follow the instructions in the manual. If you feel the instructions in the manual as they stand are hard to follow - please outline which bits need clarification, and I'll try to help out.

For anyone who's having trouble, your ipod should look like this post Rockbox install :

/mount/point/for/ipod/Calendar
/mount/point/for/ipod/Contacts
/mount/point/for/ipod/.rockbox
/mount/point/for/ipod/iPod_Control
/mount/point/for/ipod/Notes
/mount/point/for/ipod/.rockbox

Obviously the "/mount/point/for/ipod/" will be based on your own system's settings (mine is actually /mnt/ipod for example).

The .rockbox folder there should contain the rockbox.ipod file, and a bunch of other subdirectories :

/mount/point/for/ipod/.rockbox/backdrops
/mount/point/for/ipod/.rockbox/codecs
/mount/point/for/ipod/.rockbox/codepages
/mount/point/for/ipod/.rockbox/docs
/mount/point/for/ipod/.rockbox/eqs
/mount/point/for/ipod/.rockbox/fonts
/mount/point/for/ipod/.rockbox/icons
/mount/point/for/ipod/.rockbox/langs
/mount/point/for/ipod/.rockbox/rocks
/mount/point/for/ipod/.rockbox/themes
/mount/point/for/ipod/.rockbox/viewers
/mount/point/for/ipod/.rockbox/wps

If you folder structure DOESN'T look like this, then you've done the install wrong.

i installed it okay (i think) i extracted the .rockbox folder to the root of the ipod and it puts the rockbox.ipod file in the .rockbox folder, so i don't think i am doing anything wrong it's a fat32 formatted hard drive,
thanx

Cheers,
Ben.
