Ipod video 64Mb?

<< < (9/12) > >>

knight4led:
With regards to my particular problem, when formatting my iPod I had the idea that perhaps it wasn't formatting the FAT32 partition with 2048byte sectors so I tried adding the -S 2048 modifier when running the newfs_msdos command to get
--- Code: ---newfs_msdos -F32 -S 2048 -v iPod /dev/rdisk1s2
--- End code ---
which showed the drive as a FAT32 partititon and ipodpatcher reported it with sector size of 2048, just as it was in all previous attempts.

Still no luck though. I still get the could not locate rockbox.ipod. If you want I can post an ls of my directory stucture here as well.

EDIT: Here are the ls -a outputs for the root of my iPod and the .rockbox folder immediately after a fresh format and bootloader. Everything seems to be in order, except I still get the rockbox.ipod error.

GodEater:
This is very odd indeed.

You must be using the right bootloader, otherwise you'd get the "No partitions found" error.

Could you try copying rockbox.ipod into the root of the ipod and see if that helps ?

I note from your forum profile that you consider yourself an iPod modder.

What else have you done to your iPod besides trying to install Rockbox on it ?

Der Papst:
Afaik has mkfs a bug when creating filesystems with larger sector sizes than 512bytes.  This was also reported on 30GB 5.5G iPods a while back. And the solution to that problem was reformating the iPod in windows  :-\.

GodEater:
In light of that information, a discussion is currently underway in the IRC channel about possible solutions to this issue.
