11:34floriankrHello. This is the first time I use freenode and I'm not very familar with it by now...
11:39rvvs89'lo
11:41floriankrI'd got a problem while trying to install Linux on my Ipod using the Installation guide at ipodlinux.org/wiki/Manual_Installation.
11:42floriankrafter formatting the ipod as it was written in the article the ipodpatcher returns "Firmware partition doesn't contain Apple copyright, aborting."
11:46 Quit linuxstb has quit #ipodlinux. Read error: 145 (Connection timed out) (n=linuxstb@rockbox/developer/linuxstb)
11:49rvvs89Right, that usually indicates that the firmware partition was moved or overwritten.
11:49rvvs89Do you have a backup of the MBR?
11:49floriankryes.
11:50rvvs89Before you apply that backup, did you actually run mkfs, mkdosfs or mformat?
11:51rvvs89Or just change the partition table
11:51floriankryes, i did also run mkfs, because it is a "winpod"...
11:52rvvs89Right, well, hopefully the apple firmware hasn't been touched, but we won't know for sure until you apply the backup
11:53floriankrok, i try it. but i did not format the firmware partition...
11:53rvvs89Please dump the partition table with sfdisk -d and paste the output to some pastebin like pastebin.ca
11:54rvvs89Yeah, it's just that it sounds like the firmware partition was moved, so the edges of other partitions might have overwritten parts of it.
11:54rvvs89Then apply the backup, then dump the partition table again
11:55rvvs89Then paste a link with the two partition tables here.
11:55rvvs89Also, which model of iPod are you using?
11:56 Join rrm74001 has joined #ipodlinux. (i=95a9f65d@gateway/web/freenode/x-wvvuymmeggtxrzxr)
11:56floriankrunfortunately, i read your post after applying the backup. But now it seems like the apple firmware is working properly... i can post the currently partition table...
11:56rrm74001Hey can someone help me active my account of the forum?
11:56floriankrthe ipod model is 5th generation 30gb
11:57rvvs89floriankr: Yeah, I have the same problem with those instructions, I should fix it
11:57rvvs89floriankr: This time, don't delete the firmware partition when using fdisk and the problem should not occur.
11:58floriankrok, but how should i resize the firmware partittion without deleting it first?
11:58rvvs89Don't resize it, just leave it as it is, build the other partitions around it.
11:58rvvs89rrm74001: What's your account name, I'm not sure if I have access to that but I'll have a look.
11:59rrm74001it is the same. rrm74001 :)
11:59rvvs89Right
11:59rvvs89What problem are you having with activating your account?
12:00
12:00floriankrthe current partition table looks like this: http://pastebin.ca/1624911 how and where should I build the linux partition without resizing the firmware partition?
12:00rvvs89rrm74001: Heh, looks like the forum is broken again.
12:01rvvs89rrm74001: I can't help you I'm afraid.
12:01rrm74001I am not getting the activation email. I have checked my spam folder and everything
12:01rrm74001oh okay :( thanks anwyays
12:01rvvs89rrm74001: I have no idea why this is happening, but every time the web site is "fixed" this problem occurs a few days later.
12:02rvvs89floriankr: Delete the fat32 partition, then recreate a fat32 partition and an ext3 partition in its place
12:02rvvs89floriankr: Put the ext3 partition at the end
12:02floriankrah, ok. I try it...
12:02rvvs89floriankr: This will unfortunately result in everything on your iPod being deleted
12:03rrm74001Strange. I think the archived forum might me broken too. It won't let me search.
12:03floriankrYes, I know.
12:04floriankrshould the fat partition be primary or extended?
12:04rvvs89rrm74001: Yeah, I think the permissions on the database are set to read-only, and searching probably uses a cache in the database.
12:04rvvs89floriankr: Primary, and partition 2. ext3 should be primary and partition 3.
12:04floriankrok.
12:05rvvs89rrm74001: You can search google with site:ipodlinux.org/oldforums

12:06rrm74001rvvs89: YES!! I that helped me find the post I was looking for from 2006! Thank you!
12:07rvvs89rrm74001: No worries.
12:09rrm74001ahh except the file host deleted the file. you would not happen to have the mopid for mac would you?? http://ipodlinux.org/oldforums/viewtopic.php?t=15397&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0
12:09floriankrok, i tried it. now it would look like this: http://pastebin.ca/1624930 should i apply?
12:11rvvs89rrm74001: http://jwcxz.com/projects/mopid/
12:12rvvs89floriankr: Looks good
12:14floriankrok. i applied it. can i now run mkfs?
12:14rvvs89Yeah, just keep going through the tutorial now as you were before.
12:14rrm74001Yeah that looks like the original Windows version. Thanks though.
12:15rvvs89rrm74001: Oh damn.
12:16floriankrok. thank you! :-) (maybe i'll report any other problems later....)
12:16rrm74001chances are that it does not support the new intel processors if it was made in 2006 though, right?
12:19rvvs89I have no idea, it's unfortunate that canuckid didn't upload it to the wiki.
