Question about using rockbox for audio and original firmware for video- ipod 5g
Chronon:
Unzipping directly to the iPod definitely works. But unzipping to your computer and moving the .rockbox folder to your iPod should also be fine. You don't have to take any special measures to make it hidden. I think linux automatically hides folders that begin with ".", but you don't have to worry about that.
I also don't think that having a bunch of files or folders in the root of your FAT32 partition should cause anything like the problems that you're seeing. I hope what you're seeing isn't hardware related.
mrufino1:
me too! Hopefully with this restart and reinstall, things will work. If not,...!!!!

Do
sudo fsck.vfat -a /dev/sda2
where /dev/sda2 is your iPod's partition with all your files on it. Unmount your iPod before doing this.
The "-a" switch means "repair all errors automatically", as opposed to asking you what to do every time it finds an error.
rockgod24, please don't hijack other people's threads.

mrufino1:
What key do you use to shutdown and/or restart your iPod when in Rockbox?
mrufino1:
to shut down, I hold the play key. To restart, select and play. I believe that is what I read to do- I guess I need to check again, hopefully it wasn't that!
