iHP-140: Performance issue with 240gb drive under Rockbox
nlak:
Hello,
Domonoky:
Thanks for the response. I have already compiled and installed Rockbox and the bootloader with "HAVE_LBA48" (I do not know if "HAVE_LBA48" was necessary also for the bootloader, but I have done this anyway). There was no issue with the player and the new bootloader (thanks god). Rockbox can properly access the entire disk (MK2431GAH) now and the access speed seems ok (btw, I have not changed anything in the MAX_PHYS_SECTOR_SIZE). The USB transfer though is slower compared with an iHP-120 that I own (I do not know the reason), but is still acceptable. I will use the test-disk plugin at some stage in order to check the disk performance and have a better understanding of the issue.

As mentioned in my previous post, you can use also another "model" (significantly cheaper) instead of the ES&S Kabel adapter. You can find this "model" on e-bay, e.g. http://cgi.ebay.com/upgrade-1-8-zif-to-CF-micro-ata-adapter-for-iPod-HDD_W0QQitemZ280330010662QQcmdZViewItemQQptZPCA_Cables_Adapters?hash=item280330010662&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1546. I hope this helps.
Regards,
Nick

Hi,
Since I'm ready for the jump(price) of a new MK2431GAH I would rather go for the best fit I can with the connector...Just a little thing I have about always trying to go for the top gadget ;) Gadget and music what a nice mix! :D
About the actual MK2431GAH where is the best place to get it, I saw one on eBay a couple weeks ago but I wasn't quick enough to decide myself...
Just can't wait to try out Rockbox on a new ihp-0240(...how should we call this one?)
Thx
Carl

Hello Nlak,
I am considering upgrading my dear H140 with MK2431GAH from rapid reapair and buying some ZIF convertor.
My concern is about the slow access and the recompiling you've done.
First i would know how did you format the drive ? did you use a 512 sector, 1024 or 4096?
I have also read in other topics that somebody screw his h140perhaps due to lack of space caused by an extra battery pack of 2300 mAH. HAve you the original battery in yours ?
Where did you buy your esskabel zif ? (i saw the ebay ones and the one fromdealextrem. I am also looking forward this new model :http://noteking.co.kr/goods/view.php?goodsno=4957 .)
Last questions :
Did it work with the iriver firmware?
When you say long how does it take to boot and to load a song?

Hello everybody,
Thats it, I installed everything. But, as expected, since I have the "ATA error: -32..." error when rockbox try to boot(I if reset my h140 with a paperclip, the original iriver ui will appear fine...) it means that I will need to install a recompile Rockbox and the bootloader with a proper code....right???
So, anybody knows a place where I can dl a good recompiled rockbox and bootloader that will support my new MK2431GAH in my h140. I understand I need to compile a version of the bootloader and Rockbox but I'm a bit worried to try it out since I know pretty much nothing about it and I would be pretty disapointed in me if I would transform my good old h140 in a brick;). From what I understand Nlak recompiled something that worked but I haven't heard from him(Nlak, are you still there? :)
Anybody can help?...or guide me with a "compiling Rockbox and bootloader for dummies" ;)
Thx
Carl
