Re: [Ipodlinux-devel] Follow-Up: Bootloader issues

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

Hi all,

Attached is an updated loader.bin which I believe resolves the problem
people are seeing with the lockups in the Apple firmware.  Unfortunately
I can't reproduce it on my iPods so if people with the problem could
give this a try that would be great.

Simply replace the loader.bin in the existing release, re-create your
firmware image with make_fw and install to your iPod.

thanks,
bern.
