My last two upgrades have required me to "rm -rf ./.rockbox" and then reinstall Rockbox, fonts and themes. You may want to copy some .cfg files before doing this.

Which build are you using? I have no problems rebuilding the db (although I prefer directory browsing). However, I have confirmed that the "db commit" error will occur when conbining the "MicroSD Card" (hotswap) patch, the "LCD Fade" patch and if you are using a unicode font that contains cjk characters.

I'm using r13711-070625. I've never installed any non-official builds. I use the RettumBox theme. No MicroSD, no eplicit LCD fades, no patches whatsoever.
My gut says that there's stack corruption behavior when the database is rebuilt on my Sansa, causing the program counter to point to a low address.

Charles, it looks like you're on to something here. I've updated the FlySpray bug report to reflect my new findings.
Following a fresh install, if I build the database before selecting the RettumBox theme things work as expected. However, if I select the RettumBox theme before building the database I continue to see the problem. The RettumBox.cfg specifies the following font: /.rockbox/fonts/neep-alt-0815-bold-L1.fnt It also specifies a background image.
Odd, but hopefully the info will help somebody isolate the problem.
Update: not so fast!
OK, I lied.... my "working" scenario, above, doesn't work on subsequent reboots. Time to try things with just a plain-Jane install (rockbox + fonts only) and see how that goes.

I went ahead and installed it and it looks like it's working great. The only 'problem' is I can't find a theme/WPS I like so I'll just have to make one. :)

Does the radio work in the euopean version of this player?
I belive this is disabled for europe but don't know if its firmware or hardware or both perhaps?
