Yes, I know that this thread has contained mixed messages - my post was an attempt to clarify things. Apologies if I sounded harsh.

And you pointed me in the right direction. Compiled the bootloader and ipodpatcher. Booted, plays music. I'm sure I'll fiddle.
slightly OT (my apologies.)
If you wondered what I did (I used a new 7.04 ubuntu install):
-make sure you have build-essential installed via synaptic/apt-get/etc
-grab the svn packages for ipodpatcher and rockbox as per compilation guides
-use the arm dev installer script in rockbox tools dir (rockboxdev.sh)
-add the arm bin to path as suggested at the end of the arm toolset installer script
-make the bootloader
-make ipodpatcher, copy the bootloader to where you built/copied the ipodpatcher bin
-ipodpatch away (ipodpatcher -a )

results of my x86 compile:

-edit: use the new version of ipodpatcher, rather than this build.

Just as a note, this shouldn't be considered "Supported" and it may be best to simply wait for the official bootloader release (which should be in a matter of days).

Does the Ipod show up as drive in windows?

Yes it does. I am able to install the rockbox software. It's just the bootloader that isn't working which makes sense as there isn't an ipodpatcher version that recognizes firewire yet. I will look for it over the next couple of weeks. . . but thanks for trying to help
