dualboot with apple-rockbox
« on: January 14, 2008, 12:11:47 PM »
Hello guys! i'm a new member and i very interested to this rockbox project. I'm italian.. sorry but i don't speak english very well.
I've a problem. I've installed rockbox firmware and it is all ok. it goes e it's very nice!!

But after some days i wanted the dual boot with the choice between apple original fw, the rockbox, sleep mode and disk mode, and i had installed the loader.bin from linux project, but when i select rockbox operating system...  i see only the bar loading but the rockbox don't inizialize.. and i must reboot my ipod with select + menu.
If i choise apple software it go right.

Can you help me..?? thank you to all!!  :)

We do not support the iPodlinux bootloader these forums, because it is not our software.  However, you can post your question in this thread in the Unsupported Builds forum:

http://forums.rockbox.org/index.php?topic=9658.0

Note that the official bootloader allows you to boot the Apple firmware either by turning the "hold" button on as soon as the iPod starts, or by holding the "menu" button as the iPod starts.

thank you for the reply.

I know that this forum not support ipodlinux...and i don't use linux. I use rockbox.. but i had used  only the loader of ipodlinux for to have a bootlader with the choice from different operating system.


I know also that the change from rockbox os and apple os go turning the "hold" button.

We also do not support the iPod linux bootloader, it can cause problems with rockbox working as you have discovered.  If you want support here, you need to use the official bootloader.
