Hello,
I have been using a build from 11 July 2008 for several months and have had no problems with that build. However the new v3.x Rockbox sounds great and I would like to get it working on my iriver H360.
However I cannot get a DB built. It seems to be similar to this problem
http://forums.rockbox.org/index.php?topic=19811.0 but it doesn't look like from the posts like they got it solved.
I tried these steps first with the v3.2 stable release.
I removed the old .rockbox directory.
Using the RBUtil 1.2 I installed the 3.2 RB successfully (from XP).
I booted into RB, the splash screen confirmed the "Ver. 3.2-090323â€
I access the database menu and it asks me to Initialize the DB I respond Yes.
It finds approx 12500 entries and then asks for to reboot the system.
Returns to main menu.
Hold Stop to shut down.
Error Message and Freeze.
Error is “I04:IllInstr at 3113E0F4â€
On reset it freezes at the splash screen. Left it for 10 mins no response, doesn't respond to key presses.
A second reset once again freezes on splash screen.
Boot into Iriver Firmware and connect to the drive. Can see a database_tmp.tcd file. Move this file off the player along with nvram.bin and reboot the player.
Reboot into RB. this succeeds and try to access DB, asks to initialize.
It finds 12832 entries and stops with message “Building Database... 12832 Found (Stop to Return)†and does nothing. Disk Indicator light blinks regularly. Though it hasn’t frozen. I left it for 1 hr still showing this message.
If I look at debug info for database this is what I see:
Database Info
Initialized: Yes
DB Ready: No
Ram Cache: No
Ram: 0/0B
Progress: -1% (12832 entries)
Curfile: ---
Commit step: 0
Commit delayed: No
Queue length: 0
So I removed everything from the disk leaving only the .rockbox folder and asked it to build the database. It found 576 entries and then stopped paused “Building Database... 576 Found (Stop to Return)â€.
I then tried the above empty disk with the
most current build version r20632-090405. And it too finds 576 entries and then stopped paused with the message the same as before.
I would like to get this running on my machine but I seemed to be having no luck so far. However as soon as I put back the previous release from the 11 Jul 08 the database functionality works no problem.
Can anyone please offer any suggestions ?
Thanks in advance for any help.

UPDATE:
I have reformatted the drive with Compuapps Swissknife and done a chkdsk using XP Disk tools and asked to fix errors and scan for bad sectors... none found. I have installed the latest current build
r20635-090406 onto the device with defualt settings that come with the new build (there are just 2 folders on the device .rockbox and "System Volume Information") and tried initializing the DB again.
This pauses with the message “Building Database... 362 Found (Stop to Return)†and remains there however as before the rest of rockbox is accessible, DB debug info reads:
Database Info
Initialized: Yes
DB Ready: No
Ram Cache: No
Ram: 0/0B
Progress: -1% (362 entries)
Curfile: ---
Commit step: 0

Thanks.
Update 2:
I have put all my music back onto the H360. and I have used the first songdb.exe from this flyspray
http://www.rockbox.org/tracker/task/9508?project=1&string=database&type[0]=&sev[0]=&pri[0]=&due[0]=&reported[0]=&cat[0]=&status[0]=open&percent[0]=&opened=&dev=&closed=&duedatefrom=&duedateto=&changedfrom=&changedto=&openedfrom=&openedto=&closedfrom=&closedto=&order=dateopened&sort=desc. The songdb.exe can create the db no problem and when I access the db from the player, it correctly finds all expected tracks and seems complete from my cursory investigation.
I have since moved that correctly generated database and then asked the player to generate its own database from scratch. It stated it succeeded with approx 12500 entries, it asks for a reboot and returns me to the main menu. I unplugged the AC power and it froze. I reset the player and it the database functionality is there but the database is only half complete. It only has artitsts up until 'O' . The songdb.exe generated db had all the artists.
So it would seem I can only generate a full and complete working db using the songdb.exe, the player itself simply cannot do this. These last few tests were with the
r20635-090406 build. I am going to see if I can repeat the behaviour seen in the last test again.
Thanks again in advance for any help
