Latest Rockbox not working on Nano
danhibiki:
Still running rev 13855 and could boot into Rockbox almost properly a few times. I could see all files fine, but sometimes folder/files names got corrupted. And not always the settings were properly saved, sometimes it would boot with the settings resetted, others with my previous settings, so it's basically a complete mess :(
But now I got a new error when trying to boot:
*PANIC*
Dir entry 2 in sector 3 is not free!
42 64 00 00
To illustrate the corruption I'm having on file names, I'm attaching a screenshot from Windows Explorer. Notice the "ibons" folder, confhg.cfg, NVR@M.BHN and so on...

Hmmm... that is rather screwy.
It's a long shot, but try checking your iPod file system for any errors or corruption. And as an even longer shot, run it through a virus scanner. It looks like something may have gotten in there and is causing havoc.
Keep us posted.

As I said, it was recently restored, so I don't think there should be any problems with my file system before it got into this state. In this current state it's obvious that it was corrupted in many ways, so running CHKDSK on it was necessary, many files appeared on FOUND.000 and many folders/files on .rockbox disappeared.
I am thinking Rockbox is the one causing all this corruption, especially because it seems to occur only on its own folder. And because older builds (2007-07-03) doesn't have any problems.
Apple OS also runs without any trouble on my Nano.
Just to be sure, I scanned it through my anti virus and got nothing.
I think I'm gonna restore it one more time and see what happens.

Some news, I saw some updates on PP targets so I updated Rockbox (r13991) hoping that it would be running correctly right now. I think it is better than before, but it's still pretty bugged on my nano.
Now it seems to boot every time I try, didn't see those ".rockbox directory not found" messages until now, but I'm getting HEAVY graphical corruption sometimes and most often than not some kind of graphical corruption. But the filenames seem to be fine, didn't notice those bizarre file/folder names.
I tried to play some songs with no success, one time I got Data abort at 01f00228, others I got Codec Failure, sometimes I could see something like "Error accessing directory" and right now I just got "Undefined instruction at 00070D64".
By the way, I'm trying to playback some Vorbis files.
Dwyloc:
I have been using my black ipod nano 4GB for about a year under Rockbox and I have found that it works very reliably.
I use it every day and I never see any problems with lockups or file system corruption, but when I first got my nano I quite often had problems with file system corruption.
After two small changes the problem when away.
1. I stopped using diskmode by plugging in USB under rockbox and started rebooting in to the retain OS for file transfers, file transfer are much faster and also seem to be more reliable.
2. A fix was committed for a rockbox bug which corrupted file system by creating duplicate short file names when I saved my rockbox config.
