"unsupported physical sector size: 4096" ipod video 30 GB [SOLVED]

Ah yes the bootloaer.  Since ipodpatcher hasn't been updated in years, you're still getting an old bootloader.  You may need to see this thread:

Shouldn't the rockbox utility use the latest bootloader?

This issue has been resolved by using the bootloader at the link provided above.

It does. However, the bootloader in the thread linked hasn't been released, so Rockbox Utility doesn't use it -- it only uses the latest released bootloader, not the latest bootloader in svn. This is a security measure.

I've not yet had time to prepare, test and release new bootloaders for iPod; hopefully this will happen fairly soon.

Just for reference, this iPod must have previously had its hard drive replaced; the stock Apple drives do not have 4096 byte sectors. This is why you didn't have a problem with another iPod of the same model; the current bootloader works fine on all the drives Apple actually ship in the iPods.

sickasabat:
I wasn't complaining about the bootloader used in the utility just curious as to why this one worked. I'd like to add that I really appreciate all the work that the rockbox developers do.
