After commenting "ata.c" and recompiling the source file, everything start working fine. The only bug I have - it gets stuck in a car mode. Probably, there is another "ata.c" bug is present.
BTW, how did you manage to close the device? I had to cut off the jumper to be able to do it.
In addition, 32Gb CF A-Data is 149$ now... ;D

I just bent the jumper :) Here is a picture of it booted with a 4gb CF card and re-assembled

This was required for iPod mini's using a CF card and I did that on my gigabeat. I also set the spindown time to 254 seconds (I'd like to modify the code so it is NEVER).

I've just swapped the disks, I haven't recompiled anything. I do use the REP build of rockbox and gave it a field run. The show I recorded had no issues.

What's the REP build?
BTW, someone left a review on newegg for the 32gb A-data CF that they tried in an iPod mini, and it worked! So it's looking good!!!
The price keeps on a dropping!. I will pull the trigger soon.

Intresting stuff this. Been looking at replacing my iriver for awhile now but nothing really grabs me. Little confused over the adaptor used for this project though. Would something like this :-
http://linitx.com/viewproduct.php?prodid=11521
be ok to use in the 120? (I know that the player uses the single platter toshiba drives). If not what would be ok? Don't use ebay, though I suspect that may be my only choice.
Also how difficult is a project like this? Complete beginner at things like this and don't have any soldering experiences. Quite fancy the idea of a 30 gig (given the price is right)flac playing iriver. Would save having to convert a load of stuff over when I want to listen to stuff at work!
One other quick question would there be room in there to put a larger capacity battery whilst the player is open? My irivers a few years old now...
Cheers...
