Unsupported physical sector size

Seaningtime:
Hey, so I have a 5.5 gen ipod that had the harddrive die, and so I replaced it with a same sized iPod classic harddrive (80 and 80), surprisingly it worked and I can do everything fine with the normal iPod OS, but then I tried to install rockbox and it gave me an error saying exactly:

*PANIC* Unsupported physical sector size: 4096 

if I restarted the ipod it would just go to that screen again, and if I plugged it in, it would do the same.  So I restarted and tried disk mode, this worked and so I went to iTunes and did a restore....

Now, is there anyways I can get rockbox on this??
I mean, it has to be a software issue if the normal OS is working fine?

OK, so I tried it again right now and got the same thing, so I am about to reformat and I noticed that I can choose "allocation size" right now it is set to 4096, but I have the options of 2048, 8192, 16 kb, 32 kb, 64 kb.  Anyone have any ideas??

saratoga:
firmware/export/config-ipodvideo.h defines MAX_PHYS_SECTOR_SIZE as 1024, so a hard disk with 4096 probably won't work.  You could try increasing the value to 4096 and recompiling rockbox, but I honestly have no idea if that will work.

GodEater:
I'm pretty confident it won't work - you'll need to do a lot more work to get it to accept a disk with that size sectors.

Seaningtime:
"firmware/export/config-ipodvideo.h defines MAX_PHYS_SECTOR_SIZE as 1024"

Where could I find this file to change the value??

Or is there anyways I can make the hdd go down to 1024?

You would need to download the source code, modify the value, then compile your own build. See the wiki for guidance: http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/SimpleGuideToCompiling
