I'm sorry, but I'm really struggling to understand what you mean. 

Do you mean that you cannot boot either the Apple firmware or Rockbox?  The easiest way to solve this is to restore your ipod in itunes on a Windows PC, then reinstall Rockbox.  Beware that this will wipe any data on the ipod.

The easiest way to install Rockbox is with the installer (rbutil).  You can download the installer by clicking the releases link in the navigation panel on the left of this screen.

If you wish to install manually on your iPod 5.5gen, you need to download the build for the iPod Video 30GB.

The Rockbox builds for the iPod Video support both the 5th and 5.5th gen hardware. You just need to select the right build according to your hard disk size.

The 30GB build on the page that you linked to should work on BOTH 5G and 5.5G.

Have you installed the bootloader? When you power on the iPod, do you get a screen telling you that Rockbox can't find the correct file?
