iRiver ihp120 failed CF install
eumesmo:
Bought connectors and built adapter myself, standard instructions, test OK on PC IDE, 5v
On ihp120 3.3v, rockbox bootloader hangs on 3rd line Batt: 4.06V, no ATA errors; when connected to USB, "seems" to reset device.
Original firmware(1.66 holding record): check HDD connections, (wait), menu, can't format, file browser shows single line of random characters(unchanging after reset).
Using CF dane-elec red 4gb.

Sorry, just to be clear as your post doesn't say entirely what you are asking. Â You are replacing the hard drive in the H120 with a compact flash card and it doesn't work?
The H120 worked fine with the hard disk?
Have you seen http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/MiniCF?
As per that wiki page, are you sure the card you are using supports the full TrueIDE spec?
Edit: Also a patch is required for the mini as on the wiki page, have you created a patched build?

Sorry for the lack for verbosity. Yes, it did not work, I am asking what is the issue, and more importantly if anyone has tried, succeeded, or tried to address the problem. As is, I cannot vouch for adapter, or CF card for that matter(possibility of being a fake), on top of lacking basic electronic understanding to diagnose. In regards to http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/MiniCF, logic suggests I would need to patch ihp120 bootloader, lacking basic programming skills, well, you get the point.
ihp120 with HDD, bootloader 6: works fine
CF card in camera: works fine
CF card with homebrew adapter(1.27x1.27) connected to second homebrew adapter(2.5x2.5) on PC IDE(Connected to 5v) running linux: works fine
CF card with homebrew adapter(1.27x1.27) in ihp120: fails( no ATA errors, bootloader freezes on 3rd(BATT) line, when connected to usb, logic seems to reset storage device)

That's the point -- you need to adjust Rockbox and the bootloader for this to work. There's a patch attached to that page. Resyncing is easy (just search for the comments that are displayed in the diff file). Beware that the svn bootloader might be unstable, so flashing it isn't recommended (unless you're aware of what you're doing of course). This is much easier for the Ipods as the bootloader isn't flashed and therefore there is no real risk of bricking your player with a broken bootloader.

But isn't the specific patch relevant only when building rockbox for ipod mini? (I love my ihp120 too much to blindly tweak code for bootloader).
I cannot believe no one tried this before...
