Hi there,

trying to install rockbox on Ipod photo 60gb, from PBook with no PC at hand.

Did reformat the Ipod to F32 ok I think, following required steps, using Terminal only.

Then with ipod unmounted, tried step 1) C:


--- Code: ---My-Mac:~/desktop/rockbox MeMyself$ ./diskdump -r /dev/disk2 bootpartition.bin
diskdump v0.1 - (C) Dave Chapman 2005

   0    0x0b             63     117210239       57231
[INFO] Seeking to sector 63
[WARN] Seek error - reading 63 sectors instead
[INFO] Writing 117210177 sectors to output file
--- End code ---

I basically killed it when it got to 500MB, as the installation guide said it should be around 40MB.

I did everything again, erasing the ipod and reformatting, same thing.

I have searched the forum but no mention of this problem as far as I could tell.

Any idea?

Cheers

ethien:
just noticed one thing in the installation guide, in the section about formatting as Fat32:

it says

--- Code: ---newfs_msdos -F32 -v iPod /dev/rdiskNs2
--- End code ---

seeing as my ipod has been given the name "disk2", should my command read:

--- Code: ---newfs_msdos -F32 -v iPod /dev/rdisk2s2
--- End code ---

or was the last "2" a typo, and my command should be:

--- Code: ---newfs_msdos -F32 -v iPod /dev/rdisk2s1
--- End code ---

?

thanks a lot

ethien:
nevermind, answered my own question.

It had to be diskNs2.

Sorry for the stupid post  ::)

ethien:
As said previously, solved my own problem, and got a bootpartition.bin of 39.2 MB.

New (improved!) problem


Step 1D
It first gave me an apple_os.bin of 4KB, so I redid the step, and it now gives me an apple_os.bin of Zero KB.

And that's all there is to it really.

You know, there is a "modify" button for a reason.
