Those guides mean almost nothing to me. I only have a little bit of experience with linux running ubuntu for about a year but I no longer run it. Do I need to run ubuntu inside of vmware to compile that? *EDIT* ok I kind of know what I need to do but I'm still almost completely lost? any chance you can upload the build to a site? sorry.

I'm afraid it is not so easy as this mostly a trial and error process, and your iPod is not the same as mine, we can be producing builds, uploading to a site, testing ...
Believe me; I'm not a Linux geek either, and once you install the right dependencies (as from the cross-compiling tutorial) and having the PATH correctly set (Same tutorial) you just need to follow these steps
svn checkout svn://svn.rockbox.org/rockbox/trunk -r {2008-02-09} rockbox
cd rockbox
mkdir build
cd build
../tools/configure (select your port and build type Normal)
make
make zip
I'm now building some releases in subsequent dates. I've seen ata.c had a change on Feb 17h hence looking the most suspectful date. Will inform on the results.
Once done you'll have a rockbox.zip file in the build directory. This is the compiled build

Thanks for your help, I just got done and it ended in failure. my compilation has something wrong. I think I'm just gonna wait it out until a new build comes along with support.
Llorean:
That's the thing: The current build is supposed to already HAVE support, and people who it's not working for need to do the testing to figure out what's wrong. If not enough people who actually have problems test, it won't get solved. "Wait and it'll go away" doesn't really work if everyone waits.
1ny0urfac3:
what should I do? I really have little to nothing to offer as far as coding or anything like that. if you want me to run some kind of test or something I'm more than willing but I'm afraid I'm not much help here
