How do I boot iPodLinux [was: Please Help????]

[tomw889]

Hi, im new here so please bare with me..

I have rockbox installed on my Ipod Video 30G and IpodLinux. I was looking through rockbox videos on youtube and noticed that someone had a bootloader on their ipod that let him decide what OS he wanted to use. i was wondering how to put this on my ipod??? also is this possible considering that i allready have rockbox and ipodlinux on my ipod?

 

Cheers, Tom W

That would be iPodLinux's bootloader, which we don't support here.

However, the rockbox bootloader ALSO supports this - it just doesn't show you a menu (which we feel is a waste of time).

Holding ">||" on boot will boot iPL.

Having the hold switch turned on when you boot will boot Apple OS.

Doing nothing will boot Rockbox.

Holding ">||" on boot will boot iPL.

... if you have the kernel file as "linux.bin" in the root folder of the FAT partition (i.e. the partition Rockbox uses)
