[Ipodlinux-devel] ipod from ppc doesn't boot

[Florin B. <fl...@bn...>]

hello everybody!

i turned my mac-ipod into a win-ipod like described in the gnupod docs 
(thanks, steven, for pointing me to those :-)

i build the kernel and patched it like steven described it in his email, 
copied the (patched) firmware to the first partition of the ipod and 
reset it -- several times. tried it with firewire plugged in and 
unplugged, but it doesn't boot. i can get it to disk-mode by hand (press 
forward+rewind), so i can re-copy the original firmware (then, of 
course, it works again).

it seems to stuck with that apple-logo. i can hear the hdd spinning, but 
no attempts to read from it whatsoever... anybody any ides?

perhaps someone could send me one of his kernel files, so i can patch my 
firmware with those? this way i can test whether the problem is the way 
my ipod-kernel was compiled.

oh, there is some information which might be important: ipod has (had) 
firmware 1.20, and is the old 5GB-model (old _real_ scrolling wheel, no 
touchpad, no remote control).

what about others?

regards,
florin.
