Do you want me to continue to evaluate these test builds or should I switch to the new dev builds that contain today's code changes?
So far I have only tried the mini2g-exp version and it seems to have been stable for me. I think it might be a bit sluggish in places, but I'm not sure of that because I hadn't previously used my mini in a while until I installed this test version, and I'm more accustomed to using 5G Videos and 6G Classics.

Current dev builds, please. At worst they're no more broken than before. :)

When it comes to the raw oomph, the mini2g and ipod5g are more or less equivalent, but the 6g packs more of a punch.
The only change with respect to the 6G is that we now check to see if the storage device supports the power management ATA commands, and if not, don't issue them -- or power down. This should at least prevent data corruption with the common SD adapters.

Please try this one on the 6g. It has some additions that might provide a path to powering off devices with SD adapters.

I manually installed the above ipod6g-exp2 version (f042880bb4-240423) on my MC293LL/A Classic but it freezes on the boot splash screen.
I used Rockbox Utility to install a5d75a5743-240423 onto my 2nd Gen mini and 5.5 Gen Video and they are both rebuilding their dbs from scratch. I have to turn to other things now, but I'll check back in later today.
