Rockbox + IpodLinux on 5.5g iPod?

[grawp]

Is there any possibility of installing http://www.ipodlinux.org/Loader2? Or can rockbox bootloader boot also linux kernel?

[Llorean]

Yes, and yes.

And also in 5.5g ipod?

[Llorean]

On the 30gb ones, yes.

And can you tell me how? please
Rockbox works well in 5.5g for me but i don't know how to get IpodLinux work on this new 5.5 ipod generation. (sorry that i'm asking this in rockbox forum)

Asking how to install Linux is not an acceptable topic at this forum. As you've admitted, this is the wrong place.

I'm also not sure under what conditions the current Rockbox bootloader will load linux. You will need to manually install the linux file system (instructions for that can be found at the iPodLinux site). Then, if you use the Rockbox tools to convert the kernel .bin file into a .ipod file (I BELIEVE it's the scramble tool, but I'm not sure, you can look at the makefile for the bootloader builds), then all you have to do is click on the kernel.ipod file in Rockbox, and it should find the ext2 partition and be able to boot.
