harddrive upgrade causes long start time

<< < (2/2)

Okay, try this bootloader: http://drop.io/dreamlayers/asset/h10-20gc-wait4bsy-5s-mi4 .  I made the ata.c wait_for_bsy timeout 5 s and I made the bootloader code print a message and wait 1 s if the first partition table read fails.  Let me know if you see "First disk_init failed".

WOW!  That was one hell of a fix.  Starts up almost instantly. 

Thanks an awful lot.  You coders are awesome.

dreamlayers:
That's nice to read.  Thanks!

So does this mean that there is no 5 second delay between the HD model number line and the partition line, and that you never see "First disk_init failed"?  If this isn't happening, I'm not sure that my changes were what fixed the problem.  It might just be that the newer version fixed the problem.  The bootloader at http://download.rockbox.org/bootloader/iriver/H10_20GC.mi4 contains the string r12862:12866-070320.   You could try the bootloader I built from unmodified SVN code:  http://drop.io/dreamlayers/asset/h10-20gc-r20014-mi4 .

There is no delay at all.  It is less than a second once the Rockbox screen is displayed for the player to resume playback.  I haven't been able to read what it says cause it starts up so fast, but there is no 1 sec pause so I guess there is no "First disk_int failed" problem.  And there is no 5 sec pause so the "wait_for_bsy timeout" doesn't seam to be a problem either.  I used the rockbox installer to install the bootloader and everything when I first started this topic so it should be the newer version right?
