Rockbox on a HFS+ and FAT32 iPod

[tobix10]

Hi,
I've partitioned my iPod:
-Apple Partition Map
-25GB Music (HFS+)
-4.85GB ROCKBOX (FAT32)
[ Really, and its working  ]
Everything like Apple OS, Linux is working, but when I try to load Rockbox from my FAT32-Partition I get the Error:  "Err: open failed"
Maybe its my fault because I don't know which partition I should choose in the config or Rockbox couldn't been loaded from an Apple-PartitionMap FAT32.

It sounds like you're using some other bootloader than the Rockbox bootloader, in which case you should ask the provider of that bootloader for help.

Rockbox does not understand Apple partition maps, only IBM PC MBR partitions. It cannot read HFS partitions either, so while it will *work* with a disk that has non-FAT MBR partitions (it ignores them) it can't access them either.
