Sorry, wasn't too sure where I should put this post.

I'm having the same issues as detailed for some on page 2.
Trying to install daily (as of today) build onto an 4G greyscale ipod with an A-Data "speedy" 8Gb.
The card works fine with Apple firmware, but with Rockbox the boot logo appears for a while and then I get an "ATA: -1" error.

I saw there were references to custom bootloaders to support usage of CF cards. Any pointer to any of those readymade and working so I don't need to reinvent the wheel?

Thanks and regards

*UPDATE*
I have installed Ipodloader (finally found it, after ipodlinux site went down I was unable to find a copy) but the issue keeps the same. I get the menu at startup, if I choose Apple or Disk mode it works fine, but if select Rockbox it takes a while on the logo, then fails with:
PANIC
ATA: -1 error

I think this rules out the bootloader (since now it is booting thru the rockbox.ipod file directly).
Any idea? would it be the current build is broken regarding CF support?

We don't support the iPod Linux Bootloader. Please, try it with the SVN Rockbox bootloader. Compiling isn't particularly hard, and it doesn't require any "reinventing the wheel" since all the actual work is already done.

viperX:
OK, took the challenge :)

Built the compilation environment and built a new rockbox from current release. Built also the bootloader. Result FAILURE. Same as before; logo stays on for quite a while and after 10-15 seconds it gives an error:

*PANIC*
ATA: -1

As someone mentioned this worked before 2008-02-10, I downloaded and built a rockbox as of 2008-02-09 (r16246) and it works!

In conclusion, it seems that certainly something has broken the CF support in recent builts, and the reference can be a version from at least Feb 9th 2008.

I have two environments in parallel so I can compare... where should I start from?

What would be really useful would be to discover the exact revision that broke it.  You can check out specific revisions with svn update -r rxxxx where rxxxx is the specific revision you want.
