I don't think its physically possible to shut the 3G down in the OF, so how exactly did you verify that its working fine?

I just meant that using original firmware, all buttons and functions work according to directions. When I hold a "long play" with orig. firmware, the screen goes dark and it is functionally "off" (even though I guess it's in hibernate/standby mode really).

Thats not the same thing though for the reasons mentioned in Chronon's link.

Update: the behaviors I described above were when the ipod was plugged into an AC charger. When unplugged from the charger, the ipod would turn off or shut down like it's supposed to according to RB instructions (long play). But when turning it back on it does a full reboot of the OS. My battery isn't strong enough for all the harddisk spin-ups that RB seems to require.

You cannot turn of an Ipod while it's charging. This is a hardware restriction -- when you plug in any Ipod to a charger it will power up.
Additionally, the Apple firmware doesn't turn of the Ipod. Instead it puts the Ipod in some sleep state. As a result it "can" turn of the Ipod with a charger connected, since that turning of is actually the Ipod still being powered up.

This is the expected functionality when using Rockbox. Rockbox powers off the hardware, so spinning up the hard disk is necessary. I would invest in a new battery and/or adjust the settings so that automatic shut down happens less frequently.
