[Ipodlinux-devel] 2.4.24 rc1 binary release

[Bernard L. <le...@bo...>]

Hi all,

I have prepared a beta binary release of the 2.4.24 kernel.  This kernel can
be installed on either a win32 or mac iPod.  This kernel will use devfs and
expects /dev/sda3 to be root (*).  It has support for 1g, 2g and 3g.  Firewire
support is build as a module (to avoid the booting panic) so a modprobe is
required to load the module (modprobe tsb43aa82).

To install, extract the files from the archive, use the bootloader patching
tool  and linux.bin as the kernel, then copy the modules (the lib directory)
to the iPod root filesystem.

The download is located here;

<http://ipodlinux.sourceforge.net/2.4.24-ipod-0.4-rc1.tar.gz>

* for windows users this means repartitioning your iPod!  UMSDOS has gone from
2.6 and I don't plan to support it for 2.4.24 (at least the binary release).

The repartitioning howto says to create a new partition '4' but create a new
partition '3' and everything is all good.

cheers,
bern.
