Latest Rockbox not working on Nano
embrion:
1. Nice quote, unfortunately there are no answers.
2. Some guy from the Rockbox mailing list said he'd like to lend his problematic Nano just like Devs suggested. Ppls recommended him, to catch one of them at IRC. It was some time ago, so has any Dev been contacted?
WauloK:
So it looks like there can't ever be a resolution for us Nano owners? ...
sadffffff:
purely as an observation (im one of the lucky ones who had never had any problems with the nano):
the other day i left my nano in the car in the hot sun, when i came back to play it there was lots of distortion, a little scrambling, and the music sped up and slowed down while playing mp3s. i held it out the window to cool it off as i was driving and even while cold it did not fix the problem, i had to restart the player and then it went away. (also note that my rb build is several months old, so dont take this as an observation on a recent build incase anything has changed. i will post back with the version)
(edit: Version: r14203-070805)

Has this problem been fixed? My 1st gen Nano is doing the "No partition found" thing. I just upgraded it from a July build that was working fine. I have searched this forum for a solution and carefully re-read the install guide in case something has changed.
I've tried upgrading the bootloader, ipodcatcher v2.0 shows the partition okay:
[INFO] Scanning disk devices...
[INFO] Ipod found - 1st Generation Nano ("winpod") - /dev/sdc
[INFO] Reading partition table from /dev/sdc
[INFO] Sector size is 512 bytes
[INFO] Part Start Sector End Sector Size (MB) Type
[INFO] 0 63 160649 78.4 Empty (0x00)
[INFO] 1 160656 3984119 1866.9 W95 FAT32 (0x0b)
[INFO] Ipod model: 1st Generation Nano ("winpod")
I've reformatted the FAT32 partition and unzipped .rockbox into the root folder again with no luck. Basically I've tried everything I can think of. I'm running r15469-071105
Anybody got any ideas? How has it got so broken like this? Rockbox had been running for over a year on my Nano with no problems. My Nano is now useless :(
UPDATE
I have just installed the http://python.ca/nas/tmp/rockbox-nano-14986.zip version and my Nano now fires up fine. So I can be added to the dud 80MHz club.
I don't understand this. Why can't there be a release with the clock set lower to help us out? You know, be nice to each other instead of arguing? I ran Rockbox all the time for months without problems before.

This has been answered many times. Principally it is if we cover up the issue rather than fix it properly it will not get fixed. The problem is not thought to be caused by the increase in clock rate, just exposed by it. I know it is inconvenient for some users, but rockbox hasn't officially been released, and if everyone just ignores the problem it won't get fixed.
