Rockbox always reboots into diskmode (iPod Nano)

Hey all,

i have a very weired problem. When i want rockbox to play music while connected to the pc (to charge the ipod nano 1g), i press and hold "menu" while i insert the connector cable. It seems like everything is ok, rockbox is still there but after a few seconds up to a few minutes, rockbox reboots into disk mode.
This is pretty annoying, does anyone experience the same issues, and if so, how can i fix it?

I don't own an ipod nano anymore, but I think the USB detection was working quite well when I used it...
When does it reboot? -> when you press a button, when the song ended etc.
What build/bootloader are you using?
Does it also happen when you plug your ipod into a wallcharger?

bobdmb:
actually i don't know which bootloader i'm using, but the build is senab's iPod build (30th April 2007). I haven't had any problems with that either, but the rockbox version i was using before was about ~1 year old. I've updated the bootloader in february or so.

I have this problem as well with my Nano.
What I've found is that I need to hold the menu button for up to a minute after I've inserted the USB cable.  My computer then gives me an error message that "a usb device has malfunctioned and is not recognized".  I then know it is safe to release the menu button and charge my Nano as it plays in Rockbox.

I think this problem was introduced with this commit.

Particularly annoying on the nano. Often when you just pull the cable out in disk mode it shows that weird empty battery icon then the screen goes blank. The problem with this is the player is still on and draining the battery but looks like it is turned off. When you try to use it the next day the battery is flat.
