« on: December 08, 2007, 06:55:24 PM »
Hi all guys,

i'm trying to install rockbox on an ipod as wrote on subject, on a linux (ubuntu) laptop, when i try to give the command

Code: [Select]
sudo ./ipodpatcher

i obtain:

Code: [Select]
[INFO] Scanning disk devices...
[ERR]  No ipods found, aborting
[ERR]  Please connect your ipod and ensure it is in disk mode
[ERR]  Please refer to the Rockbox manual if you continue to have problems.

if i try to force the device path with

Code: [Select]
sudo ./ipodpatcher /dev/sdc

i obtain

Code: [Select]
[INFO] Reading partition table from /dev/sdc
[INFO] Sector size is 2048 bytes
[ERR]  Partition layout is not an ipod

it read correctly the size of the ipod but don't read the partition table as it would be, what can i do?

Rockbox does not run on 2nd Generation iPod nanos, as is clearly stated on the front page of the site.

But to be honest - I think it's extremely doubtful.

The 2G Nano has been out for over a year now and to our knowledge no-one has managed to get 3rd party code running on it.
