I do have the same problem with you with my 80GB ipod Video 5.5 Gen. and i posted before on this forum about it to get some help. I sent it for repair in Greece to "Rainbow" company (Authorized Apple Dealers) because i thought it was a hardware problem but hey said there was nothing wrong with it.

The only think i could say that i noticed is that sometimes some daily builts may cause the ipod not to start up normally so i'm not updating my ipod so often now as i did before. The reason im saying this is because once when i updated my ipod i noticed that everytime i was tring to turn it on i was always have to reboot it. Then i put back a previews built and it was turning on ok.

But dont take this for granded though because it might not be the real reason. Only the rockbox experts can give us an answer. What happened to me it may was just a matter of luck. I hope this could be solved one day and i dont think you should worry about your ipod because reboot it everytime i dont think you could cause it a damage.

GodEater:
As has been repeatedly stated on these forums, whenever it's brought up - this is not a Rockbox issue. It's an issue with the apple bootloader which runs before any of the Rockbox code runs.

I haven't seen the other threads related to this, but I just thought I would mention something no one else seems to have mentioned... whenever my ipod won't start up, something does in fact flash on the screen for the smallest fraction of a second. I still to this day am not exactly sure what it is, but I know that it's not backlit, it's smallish (about the size of the fallback do not disconnect icon that shows up when plugged in through rockbox), and it's dark grey (probably similar to the fallback charging screen in color, but not backlit). I've always thought it looked like a battery or something, but that might be my mind playing tricks on me. Someone with a camera or sharper eyes than me might be able to find out what it is.

That's of course assuming that knowing what the picture was would help shed any light on this situation.

Its the apple low battery warning you are seeing.
A second bug in the apple bootloader as it can appear even when the ipods fully charged.
