iPod Nano Database Problems

[Bus Uncle]

Hey all, I have a 4GB nano, 1st Generation, and i seem to have a problem with the database.

Installation is fine, but the problem starts whenever i click the database button to initialize the database. I have 445 songs, and it finds all of them, requiring me to reboot.

After a reboot, my whole screen turns black with an error message saying i have a bad checksum. I had to restore my iPod TWICE due to this. This is my third time and i am getting frustrated with this.

I correctly installed the latest firmware and bootloader according to the manual.

The fourth time I tried it however, I restarted my iPod and the screen says Committing Database 1/9. It jumps to 2/9, then to 3/9, then quits. It goes back to the main menu and when I click database again, it tells me I haven't initialized the database yet.

Due to the fact I just initialized it, I try it again. It just hangs on Building Database...0 Found. I have to restart to get my rockbox unfrozen.

Any suggestions?

My firmware is the latest version in the iPod nano category.

1)  Please edit posts, don't double post

2)  Please quote the actual version number.  The 'latest' version changes several times a day (on every change to the source code shown on the front page).
