Rockbox issue with upgraded HDD in iriver H120
« on: April 16, 2008, 04:18:52 AM »
I just performed an upgrade of the HD in my iriver H120, following
Linus' instructions (http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/ZIFToATAAdapter) and using the corresponding adapter (ADA-HDD-1.8-ZIF-CF from ESS Kabel).

The new HD I put into the H120 is the Samsung HS082HB (80 GB). I formatted the HD with a FAT32 filesystem. The H120 works fine with the iriver firmware (1.66U), and the HD size is reported correctly. But whenever I try to boot Rockbox I get the same error message: "ATA error: -32 Insert USB cable and press a button", and then the player freezes.

When I did the HD upgrade, I also changed the battery (I don't know if this plays a role for Rockbox?)

Any help to overcome this problem would be greatly appreciated. Many
thanks in advance.

Try removing the call to check_registers() in ata.c, then recompile and reinstall the bootloader.

Hi Linus, thanks for the fast response. It seems that I would need some help with the recompiling, since I am not familiar with this. (I only have very general knowledge about how this works)

Could you please indicate where I can find concrete instructions (and tools) for recompiling the bootloader? Is the source code of the bootloader included in the big rockbox source code file (http://build.rockbox.org/dist/build-source/rockbox.7z)?

I'm installing the same drive next week. LinusN or nlak can you send the working bootloader? Many thanks.

The check_registers() modification is only needed if the hardware is unstable. Most players should work just fine without it.

You said you did the zif adapter in your H120? How was the fit? Did you need to mod it to make it fit? Do you also use a higher capacity battery?

Hello,

I have the same problem with an iriver H10 20GB upgraded with a 60GB Toshiba harddisk.

When I install the latest stable version of the bootloader and the rockbox firmware, I get the follwing error message:
No partition found.
Insert USB cable and fix it.

When I use an older version of the bootloader (dated 2006-11-27) rockbox is loading, but I get the "codec failure" error when using rockbox version 3.0.

Any Idea how to fix this?

Is it possible to get a fixed bootloader version?

Thanks,
shaker

OK, I solved my problem finally.

I deleted the partition again, created a new primary partition FAT32 and copied the original firmware back on the HD (from the backup I made before).

Then I could do a fresh install of rockbox 3.0 and everthing works fine now. Great!!!

Cheers,
shaker
