e260 (not R), MSC mode, Linux, sansapatcher, OEM fW v01.02.18A [SOLVED]
Chronon:
If you don't have a microSD (not microSDHC) card in your player then your distribution probably just ignores the card reader. You can just ignore that bit.
Extracting as root shouldn't matter. You're just placing files on your DAP's drive.
It's strange that sansapatcher claims it installed the bootloader but there's no evidence of it when you boot your player.
Is there a particular error when you try to run Rockbox Utility? That will probably be of interest to its maintainers.

I didn't think that could matter, but sometimes things aren't what I think they should be. lol!

My error is as follows:
--- Quote ---[mmmmna@localhost RockBox for Sansa e260]$ ./rbutilqt
Floating point exception
[mmmmna@localhost RockBox for Sansa e260]$ su -

[root@localhost ~]# cd /home/mmmmna/Desktop/RockBox\ for\ Sansa\ e260/

--- End quote ---
As a normal user, it just fails; when I su to root and execute, I get a core dump after the failure. I use PCLinuxOS MiniMe 2008 installed to a Dell Inspiron 2200 laptop. If the devs want more info, they can hit me up via PM, let me know.

Chronon: should I start a new discussion about my non-booting issue?
Chronon:
No, I think your current issue still falls under the scope of the topic title. Essentially, despite sansapatcher claiming success there appears to be no Rockbox bootloader on your player. Hopefully, someone else will have an idea. I'm a bit puzzled about what's going on here.

Chronon et.al.
While trying to remove my rockbox install under linux it was reporting a success but the boot loader was still there. When I booted into another kernel and enviroment where auto-mounting of USB devices is disabled and I ran ./sansapatcher it removed it that time.
Further investigation has led me to the conclusion that the sansapatcher will report success even though it failed if the device has been automagically (or otherwise) mounted into the filesystem.
Right click on your device in nautilus and say "unmount" (if you use gnome) then try running your sansapatcher.
