Update: Many people have had problems getting the customized kernel to work properly with 5.5G iPods, reporting a fs mount error. This is because this kernel doesn't contain the patches for 5.5G iPods. LAva from the iPL forums has compiled a kernel including the iBoy patches that allows you to play GBC games using iboy_newkern. It also contains a patch to fix a general volume bug for 5G and 5.5G iPods. Download lava_kernel.bin from here ( =25014), then rename it to iboy_kernel.bin, and use in place of the customized linux kernel in the following instructions.
After downloading the custom kernel, you can either replace your old one, or give the custom kernel a different name and place it on your iPod's Linux partition. If you are using the Loader2 to load iBoy, you can adjust the path in your loader.cfg file to point to the new kernel. For example, the following line could appear in your loader.cfg file:
iBoy 075 @ (hd0,1)/newkern.bin /bin/iboy
where hd0,1 corresponds to the FAT (Windows) partition of your iPod. If you do not install the custom Linux kernel, iboy_newkern may still work; however, many users have reported that if sound is enabled (via OSS_ENABLED setting), then ROMs will no longer work. To fix this problem, you must install the custom Linux kernel.
