Llorean:
You need to compile your own bootloader. You can use the existing ipodpatcher.exe to install a newer bootloader file (it has the "current official" one built in). I believe the syntax is "ipodpatcher -a bootloader.ipod" but it's been a very long time. Bootloader.ipod being what you'll get if you compile a bootloader.

The main problem is that the fix is in SVN, which means it's in all the builds, but the bootloaders are all older than the fix so they don't have it. For some people this hasn't been a problem, for others it may be. Hopefully this will fix your problem.

Ah so I can use the bootloader from the current build? I just need to specify it with ipodpatcher. Well that's my understanding. I'll go try it and see what happens.

Llorean:
I don't know what you're asking.

Chronon:
hayduke, Llorean told you that you need to compile your own bootloader from SVN.  This involves checking out the code, choosing "bootloader" from the configure script and then running "make" to build the binary from source.  Once you have done this you can run Ipodpatcher with the proper command line option to install this to your player.

hayduke:
I'm understanding that. Now I realize the bootloader isn't included with the firmware. I don't know why I thought it would be in hindsight :P

I understand what I need to do I think. I just don't understand how the bootloader is affected by the CF mod.

Thanks so much for all the help. I'll go compile a bootloader and post my results.
