Re: [Ipodlinux-devel] Problem patching the firmware

[Martino di F. <web...@ma...>]

Hi Bernard, thanks for your answer.

I understood that 3g aren't yet supported, but i think i have a problem before 
loading the kernel. In fact, the bootloader when installed should show the 
tux image, and then decide which image to load. After i copy the image 
prepared by the bootloader, i see the apple logo, not tux, and then i get the 
broken folder icon, also with the 2.1 obviously because the linux root does 
not deal with the normal folder structure. I think that some offsets in the 
firmware are changed from previous ipods, and writing that image on the first 
partition does not overwrite the boot section so it's totally useless.
It's only an idea obviously, but i cannot explain in other way the fact that 
overwriting the firmware does nothing.

I'll try some more.
