Believe it or not, I had this exact same issue with my 5G Ipod when I tried using a third party wall charger until I updated to the latest Ipod firmware (1.1.2 I think?).  After that, my Ipod charges just fine from the wall.  I saw a few other people posting at Ilounge with similar results.

My 5g charges from my Apple-brand wall charger just fine in the Apple fw; notsomuch in Rockbox lately (wasn't an issue a few weeks ago).

BigMac:
So if i leave my 5g plugged into the computer for 2+ days, my chip will fry?
Silly Rabbit, tricks are for kids!

This thread is talking about charging from a WALL SOCKET.  No mention is made of having it plugged into a computer.

I don't have a wall socket charger, but I FREQUENTLY (4 days a week for about a month now) have my iPod plugged into my computer for 10 hours straight, booted into rockbox, playing music through my desk speakers.  It's never even warm to the touch.

I'm using Julius's build on my 5G 30GB Video and when I plug it in to the wall adapter it only does the Rockbox boot cycle twice then it goes into disk-mode.
