We're going to need more information from you regarding exactly what you did to install Rockbox and what the results were of each step.  It would also be useful to know which iPod you are using and what platform you are installing from (Windows, Linux, Apple, etc.)

Based on the information that you have provided to me so far, the only thing that I can conclude is that (a) you are using a 5.5g iPod, which is not yet supported by Rockbox, (b) you have done something wrong during the installation process, or (c) you have a hardware problem.   I can't help you any further unless you provide me with the information that I asked for.

Because Rockbox is based entirely on the efforts of volunteers who work in their spare time, it is impossible to predict when developments will occur, and therefore, we have a policy that we do not estimate release dates.  If you'd like more information, please read the thread on the 5.5g in the "New Ports" forum.

(And for that reason, I removed the thread you posted asking this same question.)
