Can we get support for the 64 meg cache instead of 32 on 5g 60gig?

Thanks for the offer. I have a 60 GB ipod video, so I use that for testing, but if I get something working I'll put it up here for further testing.
Now, I've compiled with memory=64, and while it boots and I can browse my files and go through most options, thats about all it does. When I try to play an mp3, I get a "codec failure" message. When I try to start a module, I get an "Incompatible model". On the info screen, I see the Buffer is at 61.303.
For any memory values over 32 I get these problems (I've tried 64, 48, 34). This may be due to memory address checks, but I'm not sure at this stage. However I set memory to 32 & 16 and that worked fine.
I'll look further.

OK, I was going to anyway in the next few days. Thanks.
treq:
same thing here, compiling with memory=64 leads to incompatible model & codec failure....

i agree with that, i also tried a lot using the 64mb ram of my 5g. couldn't get it to work...

Just a quick update. It appears I have 64 MB working. The changes to get it working are:
tools/configure: set memory=64
and
firmware/crt0.S: change line 72:
mov r1, #0x3a00
to
mov r1, #0x7400
I believe this tells the memory controller how much memory (in pages?) to remap.
I'll post a little later with a build.
