You seem to be focusing on the FAQ itself, but I asked you about all of them. 06.27.59 # sharap: Yes, the date on the FAQ is old, but it's also _still_ not supported, as mentioned everywhere else that the 80gb is discussed. 06.28.50 # I didn't check the forums, because I figured such a likely frequent question would be answered and explained elsewhere. It wasn't. 06.29.07 # It was 06.29.10 # You just didn't believe it. 06.29.27 # Or does the FAQ _not_ say the 80gb isn't supported? 06.29.32 # Or the manual? 06.30.10 # it wasn't explained, and I'm not going to delve into a manual if my device isn't supported. The FAQ is where the question should be, as evidenced by the fact that you're annoyed at the frequency of people coming here to ask the question 06.30.27 # sharap: The question is answered in the FAQ 06.30.35 # It states clearly that the 80gb model is not supported. 06.30.50 # The front page of the site ALSO clearly states this. 06.31.06 # What _exactly_ do you want? 06.31.18 # If it's as clear as you make it out to be nobody would ask the question here :p 06.31.22 # What _exactly_ do you want? 06.31.27 # I feel it's clear. 06.31.29 # You don't 06.31.34 # It's a wiki: FIX IT. 06.31.58 # I don't know anything about why it's not supported, which is exactly why I came here. 06.32.17 # There's a difference between "Why it's not supported" and "whether it's supported" 06.32.19 # that is why we have an entire thread on it in the forums 06.32.32 # The FAQ doesn't need to go into technical details as to WHY it's not supported. 06.32.52 # But my question was how to fix the FAQ for explained that it isn't supported, not explaining why. 06.32.58 # tell you what then, I'll put a link to the thread in the FAQ 06.33.11 # I thought the thread wasn't clear enough either. 06.33.16 # You said you'd read it. 06.33.18 # I haven't read the thread 06.33.24 # no, I said I haven't been to the forum 06.33.32 # (11:13:02 PM) Llorean: sharap: There's a forum thread, but there are no status reports. 06.33.32 # (11:13:10 PM) sharap: I saw that, but everything I've seen that says it isn't supported looks like it was written quite awhile ago so I wondered if things had changed 06.33.47 # so I typed that whole message in 8 seconds? 06.33.55 # I could type it in as much, yes. 06.34.17 # *jaw drops* 06.34.38 # Since you never said anything to clarify that your message was in response to an earlier statement, was I meant to make a random assumption about it? 06.34.40 # sharap: If you look at the very front page of the site, the 80gb is not listed as supported. <--- it was actually in reply to that 06.35.00 # i see it as 7 seconds here 06.35.13 # what is that, 200 words per minute? 06.35.14 # and then I said I'd check out the forum 06.35.25 # sharap: Either way, the issue at hand was whether or not the target is supported, which you said is not clear enough on the site, not the status of work on it. 06.35.43 # sharap: If you could explain how to more clearly say than what the FAQ says that the target is not yet supported, I would be grateful, but moreso if you'd update the FAQ. 06.35.50 # Llorean: do we "support" all targets that rockbox runs on? 06.36.00 # midkay: All but the Sansa and the iFP 06.36.51 # so if we have italic text saying "80gb model is not supported" you should be able to see how that can be interpreted as the 80gb port might work, if in a rudimentary way, maybe only of interest to developers? 06.37.06 # i think all we need to change is "Rockbox doesn't run on 80GB models at all." 06.37.18 # 06.37.29 # rather, change to... 06.37.31 # If the FAQ is actually maintained in a timely manner, don't date your answers. 06.37.33 # midkay: Yes, but then if the user goes on to the manual, thinking it might install, they'll find out it won't. 06.37.50 # sharap: What exactly do you mean by that? 06.38.11 # saying the answer was written 8 months ago can mean that the status hasn't changed, or that you just haven't maintained the FAQ for 8 months 06.38.13 # Llorean: i think you/we'd get a lot less "80gb working yet?" questions if it was very very clear that rockbox *does not* run on that model, rather than rockbox "isn't supported" (there can be a lot of interpretations about 'supported'). 06.38.34 # sharap: well, in all fairness, we wouldn't advocate it if it weren't maintained. 06.38.36 # sharap: If it hasn't changed in status since that date, another valid assumption is that it still doesn't work, since the question clearly hasn't been updated, and the page shows the last update in Jan of this year. 06.38.41 # the answer to which iPods does rockbox support: ...(all models but the 80 gigabyte).

Apart from the check for "ipod" magic in the MBR, the other checks shouldn't be disablled - ipodpatcher modifies the firmware partition, so by definition requires one in the correct format to start with. The Apple bootloader in flash also requires a firmware partition in the right format, in order to load the firmware from it. 09.05.12 # pondlife: H300 problem? :P 09.05.16 # If anyone has a similar problem, the required steps for restoring a blank ipod are: 1) Download the MBR for their ipod from the IpodConversionToFAT32 page, and dd it to the ipod, then unplug and reattach; 2) Downlload the .ipsw file for the ipod from http://www.felixbruns.de/iPod/firmware/, unzip it, and then dd the Firmware-X.Y.Z file to /dev/sda1; 3) Format the FAT32 partition, making sure it's FAT32. 09.06.04 # Can't say I have that happen but the ata and scheduler changes are building now. 09.06.11 # jhMikeS: Just thought the symptoms sounded familiar.. 09.07.11 # try it out now :) 09.09.30 # LinusN, still around? 09.09.36 # yes 09.09.43 *** Saving seen data "./dancer.seen" 09.10.20 # Help me linus :( 09.10.39 Quit linuxstb_ ("CGI:IRC") 09.11.07 Nick kurbjunk is now known as kkurbjun (n=kkurbjun@c-24-8-203-134.hsd1.co.comcast.net) 09.11.35 # LinusN: i don't know if you saw the discussion earlier, but there was some debate over the word choice on the front page: "80gb model is not supported".. 09.11.49 # saw that 09.11.53 # any thoughts? 09.12.07 # cf-danky: with what? 09.12.26 # midkay: i can change it to "doesn't work" 09.13.02 # my progress bar 09.13.08 # its too high 09.13.31 # that sounds good.. s/not supported/doesn't work/ - same for the gigabeat S blurb too? 09.14.23 # argh 09.17.52 # ugh everything isnt placed right 09.18.15 # jhMikeS: argh? 09.18.39 # Ah, red? 09.18.47 # cf-danky: i suspect your WPS requires a patched rockbox build 09.18.56 # yes...spotty build table... 09.19.08 # Now fixed, will svn up again... 09.19.09 Quit JdGordon ("Konversation terminated!") 09.19.10 # hmm. where would i do this? 09.20.07 # jhMikeS: Do you think this is an old problem?
