Rockbox and Compact Flash
Llorean:
How old is your battery? Maybe it's just naturally losing the top of its charge fast (or due to age isn't charging as far as it used to). With my old battery in my H120, I'd rarely see it at 100% unless I took it off the charger immediately after reaching full, and even then it would drop rapidly.

At the time, I was using a 1700mAh battery that was about 18 months old. I've since replaced it with a 2200mAh battery.
I doubt it was an issue with the battery, as charging via the OF or with RockBox booted up both worked fine, and would end with 100% charge in the morning.
I'll try it with the new battery tonight, to see what happens, though.
modernman:
I have complied the boot loader a couple of more times and I am still ending up with the same error message as above. I have reformated the card a couple of more times as well. Has anyone else had the same problem?
wintermute23:
OK, I used the bootloader to charge my new battery overnight. In the morning, it said "Charging complete", but the battery was only at 93%. I can't confirm that it actually got above that level, but charging with Rockbox booted up meas that I see a charge of 100% in the morning.
EDIT::::
I installed my CF card, and it's all working smoothly. I'll update the Wiki page tomorrow.

I will buy a 32GB A-Data card to install on an ipod mini 2nd gen, but I will only do it if I can install Rockbox on it. Considering

and what's here http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/MiniCF, as I understand it, now I can install Rockbox "as it is" to a compact flashed mini, since

Current SVN should now be compatible with CF cards, and this patch should no longer be required (not tested, let us know) -- PeterDHoye - 19 Mar 2008

However, reading what's been said in this thread, I got confused. Would it be necessary to modify the bootloader, or to do anything different than installing Rockbox as I would on a standard mini?
Thanks in advance for any advice.
