stkov dircache

[Misspell]

While playing around making a skin, i rebooted my iPod and received the "PANIC stkov dircache" error.
Tried to fix it (editing config.cfg (disabling anything with cache), re-installing bootloader and RockBox), to no avail and just did a fresh format, iTunes restore and reloaded RockBox... not a big deal since i was just playing around and was not worried about my data, but...
What caused this, and is there a way to fix it aside from wiping and starting over ?

you should never have to reinstall the bootloader unless a new one is released. You also dont need to "reinstall" rockbox (i.e unzip rockbox.zip). Worst case should be delete config.cfg and nvram.bin and you're good to go.

Which version of Rockbox are you using? 

There's a known issue with dircache in current SVN revisions.  If you're using a post-3.9 build, I suggest to use the latest release (3.9) instead.  Alternatively, if you'd like to help debugging this issue, please head over to the tracker [1].

Removing the dircache setting from the config file won't disable it; the dircache is on by default.  You'll have to disable it explicitly (in system settings → disk).
