Hi Mathieu, it looks like the audio for 2g and 3g are fairly similar but I've yet to find the exact magic that makes the audio output work. I've just started working on a simpler test program that should help sort it out. Just need to find the time to hack on it. THe firewire kernel panic is a known problem. Just don't boot linux with it plugged in ;) Its still low on my priority list but if this Audio stuff starts working soon then maybe I'll get a chance to look at it. cheers, bern.

Hi everybody ! I have made some experimentation with linux & ipod and I have = discoverded that the audio doesn't work... I can heard a "click" sound.. = that signify that the DAC is powered on.. I have seen on the website = that audio doesn't work on 3G so I think that is normal! But I would = like to know what the "state" of the devlopment of this feature? Another thing, I have found a bug in the last CVS version of the kernel, = when we boot the kernel with firewire pluggedin, the kernel show bizzar = number and then he said "Kernel paniic: killing interrupt" (or = equivalent..)... If you can correct it, it will be a good kernel :) ! Best regards, Mathieu |

Great job with the how to :) I was wondering how to use the cvs to update the source and your guide was an asset. After doing a quick run through of what you tried, I found a few problems involving missing steps (I will add these in) and seemingly unnecessary steps (I have never needed to convert the kernel to a raw binary image) and most importantly, typos :O Unfortunately, when I booted the ipod into linux (after unzipping the file in the hfs partition) I received these errors: mount_devfs_fs():unable to mount devfs, err:-2 ... which in turn gave me the error about not being able to open a console, and finally, a panic. Any suggestions? Thanks Jeff N. |

Hi, I really want to try linux for iPod. I have 3G ipod (10gb without docking station, touch sensitive buttons). First I would like to ask what will happen if I will delete everything by accident (firmware all files,etc). Will I be able to restore it with iPod Updater app? Second question is about OS X. I want to install linux to ipod using OS X. Is there manual or something like that for OS X? What is ipod /dev/xxx represenation for ipod hard disk? I couldn't find it. Third question is will i be able to easily connect OS X and my linux ipod and transfer files between them? As I understand it is possible to create tools for iPod with Linux, isn't it? Thank you very much! Aidas |

It seems the HFS+ based root filesystem is not as easy as it would seem. The
problem is with the /dev filesystem, so a simple work-around is to use the
"devfs" filesystem.
To enable devfs in your kernel;
File Systems -> [*] /dev file system support
[*] Automatic mount at boot
Or by editing the .config
CONFIG_DEVFS_FS=y
CONFIG_DEVFS_MOUNT=y
The rest of the root filesystem should work as-is and devfs should allow the
device files to work correctly.
If someone gives this a try I'd love to see a short HOWTO :)
Thanks to Daniel Hazelbaker for the devfs tip.
cheers,
bern.

hi, at kernel startup i have the following error: Warning: unable to open an initial console The root partition is well mounted (since i have VFS: Mounted root (hfplus filesystem) readonly.) and the init process is running etc/inittab. But apparently it never runs the etc/rc scripts (or i can't see any results because it should prints "Welcome to ipod linux" and i don't see it). Is it due to the console problem? how can i fix it? thanks, jc. |

My solution was to replace the shipped broken version of expr with a working one.

Please ignore my previous message, I can boot the kernel now! But I have the famous kernel panic "Unable to mount root filesystem /dev/hda2".. I don't know why.. I have unzipped your FS provided on Sf.net, to the /dev/sda2 I have a linux/ directory, but the kernel wouldn't mount it! Why ? Cheers mathieu |

The size of the final firmware is about 4mo but the original firmware is = about 18 mo... Why ? I have followed Build Instructions on the site too... I have = successfully compiled the kernel but when I would like to patch the = firmware, It say me that I cannot patch 2.1 firmware... any help will be = aprecied :) ! Thank you for your help !

Thank you very much. If you were not here i would be lost :)
But it doesn't not work exactly, may be i think because i am a pure=20
newbie.....
I get the tgz file and when i try to unzip it to /dev/disk1s3 (it's the=20=
music partition of the ipod) i get the following error.
sudo unzip /travail/ipod/ipod_fs_030323.tgz
Archive: /travail/ipod/ipod_fs_030323.tgz
End-of-central-directory signature not found. Either this file is =
not
a zipfile, or it constitutes one disk of a multi-part archive. In =
the
latter case the central directory and zipfile comment will be found =

the last disk(s) of this archive.
unzip: can't find zipfile directory in one of=20

/travail/ipod/ipod_fs_030323.tgz.zip, and can't find=20
/travail/ipod/ipod_fs_030323.tgz.ZIP, period.
any idea?

Sorry, I should have read your email better! You can use this version, but you need to use UMSDOS to "convert" it to a normal unix looking filesystem. Fortunately I done this already and you can download it from the following URL: <http://ipodlinux.sf.net/ipod_fs_030323.tgz> You need to extract this one as root because it creates device files. cheers, bern.

I've had a brief look at the firmware for the mini and I'd guess that the hardware differences are about similar as those from 2g to 3g. E.g. it will take some hacking to get things going. There are two big hurdles though, firstly they have changed the boot loader and from first impressions it looks as though there is some special header required on the OS image. The second problem is that the bootloader and diagnostic images appear to be encoded somehow. As you say being able to run as a host makes things a bit more interesting...

ok, thanks. I'll try this way. I agree with you that my kernel problem are very strange :). I going to=20= recompile from scratch and see if i get the same problem and i'll keep=20= you informed. Well, I've got several ohter questions: -once i installed the kernel on my ipod what must i put on the root=20 partition -i don't really understand the last part of the howto "building a=20 uClinux system for the ipod" called "user tools".
