4G Grayscale Ipod now has ATA Error: -1

[antonyfirst]

I'm checking now:

I started from these two:

The 2008-02-06 release works
The 2008-02-19 doesn't.

EDIT: Now I'm here:
The 2008-02-09 release works
The 2008-02-13 doesn't.

EDIT: The 2008-02-11 doesn't work

The latest working version of Rockbox (with 32gb A-Data CF) has to be either the 02-09 or 02-10. Checking now.

LAST EDIT!
 The 2008-02-10 works! I'm going to test it.

Looking at the log, the subsequent build (02/11) contains Buschmann's improvements in battery life. So something must have changed with that upgrades.

I hate you Antony, i JUST finished going through that process and came to the exact same conclusion as you

haha, wish i would have checked back here FIRST

oh well, only took about 15 minutes or so to jump through them at various intervals like you did.

Hopefully Petur and Llorean will see this and can hopefully add back in whatever methods that were removed specifically for various types of ATA data access.

At least we know where we stand with it.

Anyone working on it?

I have no idea if this will work on a 4G iPod but you could check out this patch by Petur.

Good luck!

How does it apply to rockbox? Thanks

[AlexP]

You need to patch the source code then compile rockbox.  Check out www.rockbox.org/wiki/SimpleGuideToCompiling

Thanks. I still have a problem: my command prompt doesn't recognize both patch and diff commands (I installed both).
I placed the CF8 patch file in the same directory as rockbox in order to apply the patch, but the cmp keeps giving the same answer.

Are you using native linux, cygwin, VMWare, or co-linux?

[antonyfirst]

I am using Windows, and downloaded the install version for it.

[AlexP]

Which install version of what?  To compile under Windows you either need cygwin, VMWare or Colinux
