[Ipod 5.5G] "rockbox.ipod" missing (solved)

(1/2) > >>

Hi !

I have an ipod video 30G (5.5G) and I can't install rockbox on it. It always say that "rockbox.ipod" is missing when I try to boot after the installation.

Indeed, in my ipod directory there's no file named "rockbox.ipod". So I checked if I didn't forgot to paste it during installation but I saw there's no file "rockbox.ipod" in all the rockbox packages I tried... (and I had the same problem with this installer)

I saw there was a "rockbox.ipod" in the .rockbox directory, so I tried to copy it into the root directory but still nothing (at the boot of my ipod I still get the same error...)

What can I do to solve this problem ?

Thanks for your help !

ps : I use linux and my ipod is formatted in fat32.

rockbox.ipod should be inside the .rockbox folder, as it is in the rockbox.zip that you download.  If you extract rockbox.zip directly to the player root, the correct directory structure will be created.  The .rockbox folder should NOT be inside any other folder on your ipod.

One way to do this on linux is from the directory you have downloaded rockbox.zip to, type "unzip rockbox.zip -d /media/ipod" replacing /media/ipod with the correct mount point for your ipod.

That's what I did... ??? so why rockbox doesn't see it at boot ?

AlexP:
What bootloader are you using and how did you install it?

wonz:
I tried http://build.rockbox.org/dist/build-ipodvideo/rockbox.zip (current build), rockbox-ipodvideo-20080312.zip and the installer rbutilqt-v1.0.4. I followed this manual and for the bootloader I used ipodpatcher like they said in manual.

PS : Thanks for the very fast answer ! :D
