Hardware: iPod Classic 6g 120, Alpine cda-9857 with iPod cable
Finally to get rid of all those nasty "Apple issues" I've had since I bought the iPod (due having an iPod connection in my car), the crashes, random freezes, track skips, encrypted databases, no FLAC support, etc, etc :( The solution is to install Linux on the iPod. The problem was my hardware (iPod Classic 120GB) wasn't supported, however figuring out a few extra steps, I got it to work.
Step 1)

Select "Show disabled targets", Install dev version
Step 3)

Unzip, mount iPod, cp -r .rockbox (which is from the zip file) to (path to your iPod), unmount and yes to reboot. This replaces dev version 983c808-150717 with c299412-150616. It hung for me, so I had to hard reboot with select/menu, once up it's running fine on c299412-150616, and working with the Alpine headend.
