I have an old e260 with a broken display.  I just plugged it into 
my Mythbuntu 12.04 system and it auto mounted the player and its 
expansion card.  

I can't remember which version of Rockbox is on it, but it is a 
couple of years old.  

"sudo fdisk -l" ran without error.  

Does your device connect with other computers / operating systems?  
I can't remember what all of the options for Rockbox are.  
Is it configured as a mass storage device?  Have you googled for 
error 110?
