I have tried the last 2 build and am not able to get rockbox to work.build 14630 and build 14638.
Here is the background, installed build 14630, go to initialize database and it finds the correct number of songs. upon reboot when trying to commit to database it locked up at database 2 of 9. Upon a reboot the database still wanted to be initialized yet it found nothing. Did a full restore added music now using media monkey (very nice). this time rockbox found more songs then on the nano, got to database 5 of 9 and locked up. Upon reboot i had a black screen of death telling me to reboot and go to disk mode.
Next i tried 14638, upon initializing the database it still found more songs then were on the nano. Upon reboot i was able to get through all 9 of 9 database commits. however the database still wanted to be initialized. Upon reboot black screen of death telling me to go to disk mode.

on the black screen of death it tells me it can not find rockbox.ipod

I hope this info is helpful.

i have rockbox on my 80gig and it is great. I am just struggling with this nano.

Anyone have this problem or any ideas.

Chronon:
When you connect the iPod to a computer does the rockbox.ipod file still exist at the correct location?  It almost sounds like you're experiencing some kind of filesystem problems -- in which case it might be a good idea to run chkdsk or equivalent disk utility.  

Also, if you don't try to build the database does everything work properly?

jpphun:
going on holiday, will try the checkdisk over next weekend. Yes everything works properly until i try to set up the database. Ipod is daughters so i will not be able to check for the rockbox.ipod file until the weekend either.

Hi jpphun,

I have almost exactly the same issue with my own 1st gen ipod nano 4Gb.  I just tried to install rockbox for the first time and the database creation does not seem to work for me.

Having tried to intialise the database the player asks me to reboot it.  So I pressed menu+select and upon rebooting rockbox show "committing database x/9" where the value of x varies between reboots. The player still reaches the main menu after this though. Each time when I go to database in the main menu, rockbox tells me the database is not ready and needs to be initialised.

I will also try and run chkdsk on my player and report the results.

Best regards and thanks,

Alastair

Note - Rockbox asks you to restart it, not perform a hard reset.

You should shutdown the ipod cleanly, otherwise you risk corrupting files that have not been commited. This *may* explain your issue.
