Install problem: "fread failed: Result too large"

(1/1)

After succesfully installing Rockbox in an iPod mini 2G, I know this should've been worked.

fread failed: Result too large
--- End code ---

My nano is the 2GB version. It has been restored in Windows with the iPod utility, so can't figure out what would be wrong in here.

Edit: The problem was solved. I had less than 300 MB free space in my startup disk. After freeing up some space it said first:


--- Code: ---powerbook% ./ipod_fw -g nano -o rockboot.bin -i apple_os.bin bootloader-nano.bin
fread failed: Unknown error: 0
--- End code ---

and after that I walked thru the whole procedure, which then solved the issue:


--- Code: ---powerbook% ./ipod_fw -g nano -o rockboot.bin -i apple_os.bin bootloader-nano.bin                         
Generating firmware image compatible with iPod mini, 4g and iPod photo/color...
--- End code ---

But the error messages were definitely interesting. Might be worth checking the free disk space automatically, in case it wouldn't be too code length consuming or something like that. :)

I wrote a small article on iPod nano (and iPod mini) with the ROCKbox firmware in the fiMUG news service MacSanomat. Yeah, it is in finnish, but anyway advertises the ROCKbox and Ogg Vorbis fileformat to the finnish audience.
