Ipod 4G (greyscale) data aborts after database initialize

<< < (2/5) > >>

Hello there.
Got "data abort error at 0004cc68" as well on my Ipod 4G greyscale after database initialisation.
Same symptoms, only difference is my hard drive has been updated from the initial 40G to a 60GB one.
I used to be able to use the database, I was planning to downgrade to see if it changes anything...
I'll give you the logs with your build asap, I'm working ATM.

tekrotzen,

I have the same problem with my 60GB iPod Colours...I'm trying to get to the bottom of it and find the commit that broke it, but I have not had much time to do so lately.

For now, the way I found to get around it is to install the 3.7/.1 release build and initialise/update the database then install a current build once the database has been initialised already.

Updating will also cause a data abort (or it does on my iPod Colours at least) so you'll need to turn off automatic updates to the database, and you'll have to roll back to the release build if you want to change out tracks and/or update the database.

I'm sorry, I know this is a workaround and not a fix...but at the moment it is the best I can offer.
Hopefully I get a bit more time in the near future to sit down and do a binary search to find the commit that broke the database.

tekrotzen:
Hmm.
Ok, well...
Reformated my ipod, installed the mentioned build, transfered a few flac files onto the drive, and... "Unfortunately", no problems so far.
I'll update if I run into the same issue after I finish transfering my music!
Until then... Thanks a lot to everyone! :)

I have not been able to use the database function on my ipod mini 2g for some time. I didn't have time to deal with it for the last couple months. Today I just formatted and installed the newest version , reloaded all files and got the same thing - Data abort at 00043DC0

edit to add:
is there a way to generate the database on the computer while it is plugged in? Seems like it would be a good workaround for future problems

for now, does anyone know what version I can revert to on mini 2g in order to build the database?

absolut.gonzo:
I have the same problem (data abort after database update or database initialization and reboot) with my iPod 4G (greyscale, 20gb changed to 16gb compact flash). This occured with the latest stable version included in the Rockbox-Utiliy 1.2.8..

I tried the archived version that was suggested in the installer, r29143. Now I can update or initialize the database with no reboot and it seems to work.

[edit]
I just noticed that with r29143 my 4G now sounds a little bit muffled, and with the same equalizer settings the same songs get distorted way faster than with my Nano 2G (with Rockbox 3.7.1 through the current installer 1.2.8 ).
I did not notice such a big difference with the previous versions and I am beginning to suspect there was no such big difference because I crank up the volume sooo much higher with clear sound now...


Why do I have always problems with my 4G, but none with my Nano 2G (even when it wasn't supported)?
