Latest Rockbox not working on Nano

(1/34) > >>

danhibiki:
Hello, I'm getting this error when I update to the latest rockbox build: "No partition found. Insert USB cable and fix it.". Sometimes it freezes on the Rockbox logo, too.

At first I thought something corrupted my partitions, even though I could open my Nano just fine with Windows XP, so I restored it and reinstalled everything (installed the bootloader through rbutil, if that matters), but, then again the same message appeared.

So I did a little further testing and found out that the archived build from 2007-07-02 still works fine, but the one from 2007-07-03 doesn't and I get the same message I'm getting on the newest one.

Now I'm thinking this issue is related to those changes on CPU clock. Is anyone having the same problem as I am? I looked around the forum but didn't find anything related to this.

Thank you!

I have no problem booting Rockbox on my Nano, with a build from merely a day ago. Is there anything at all non-standard about your Nano? Do you, or have you in the past, installed iPL, etc? Is it a 1/2gb, or a 4gb?

danhibiki:
A long time ago I installed iPL, before Rockbox had sound on Nano's, since then I restored my iPod a couple times, but that's it I think, nothing else. It's a black 4GB Nano.

Besides that, I have a silicon case for it, but I don't think that's an issue :)

Llorean:
Well, my black 4gb Nano happens to work perfectly. Is that error message you quoted the exact one? And what does your partition table look like.

danhibiki:
Yes, this is the exact message. But, as I said, sometimes it hangs before it and doesn't boot Rockbox at all.

My partition table as ipodpatcher outputs:
