If it's a 5.5g, it is not yet supported by Rockbox.

If it's definitely a 5G, and you're getting those messages, it means that you aren't following the instructions exactly. Most often this means either a typo, or skipping one of the steps (or trying to install more than once, reusing files rather than deleting everything and restoring the iPod before trying again).
