Just installed a 1GB Sandisk Ultra CF card into my H320. Didn't need to modify the bootloader at all.
Works a charm!

Hrm. In that case, I might try switching back to the v5 bootloader...

Thanks for the info! I will give it a shot as well and report how it goes (in a while when my CF card arrives)

Mr. Kit: Bear in mind that an iriver H320 and an iPod mini are not the same machine, and what works for one might not work for the other. I do not own an iPod, and cannot make any authoritative statement about what might be necessary.
However, as I understand it, the iPod mini used a microdrive for its storage, which is basically a Compact Flash card with a hard drive inside it. So I can't see why there'd be any problems swapping it out for a different CF card.
Try it. The worst that can happen is that you end up with a spare CF card to use elsewhere.

@wintermute23: You're right, thanks. I'm pretty shure the A-Data 32GB CF card will work on the ipod mini, I've read many reports about it and also this thread begins with a similar report (I think). My concern is really if Rockbox will deal with that card as good as it does with the hard disk drive, and if it's not necessary to modify either the Rockbox build or the booloader.
