(Besides, it would be really interesting to get feedback about Rockbox Utility ;) )

I gave it a shot and it won't recognize a 1G ipod over firewire, even if I tell it where the Ipod is located and what type it is. Ends with "No Ipods found. . ."

Does the Ipod show up as drive in windows?

I, too, am trying to put rockbox on a 2g.
I snagged RockboxUtilityQt from:
Windows binary m1.0.1 / r14595 http://download.rockbox.org/rbutil/win32/rbutilqt-v1.0.1.zip
The ipod does show up as a drive letter in windows.
When I run RUQ and press autodetect, it does indeed detect the 1/2G ipod and selects the proper drive letter.
It prompts to install the latest bootloader, but after continuing past prompts I get a dialog that says no ipods are found.
What can I do to provide more helpful information?
linuxstb:
Please read the earlier posts in this thread - there is _no_ released version of the bootloader for the 1g/2g ipods yet, so none of the existing install utilities (ipodpatcher or rbutilqt) will be able to install the bootloader.
You will either need to be patient, or download the Rockbox source code from SVN and build the bootloader (and ipodpatcher) yourself.

I had, but sometimes responses are not entirely clear. For instance:
--- Quote from: Llorean on September 01, 2007, 10:58:06 AM ---There are bootloaders for the 1st and 2nd generation iPods. There is no version of iPodPatcher for installing the botloader.

I did see the reply post saying there were none on the server but figued I'd try what I could before building. I wasn't sure if I was missing something noobish. Will attempt a build myself.
Cheers and thanks for the reply.
