What kind of ipod do you have, and which version of the Apple firmware is it running?

No-one has reported a similar problem before, so more likely than not, something just went wrong with the installation.  Try restoring with itunes, and then doing the Rockbox install again.

If you read that thread, the original poster said in his second post that Rockbox was working.

If you start with a clean ipod (i.e. one just restored with itunes) and follow the instructions step by step, it will work.

I updated my 5g to the latest Apple firmware 2 days ago.  It works perfectly.

This happens to me a couple times. When this happens to me it usually means I typed something wrong in the cmd menu when I was installing rockbox. I have the latest Apple firmware on mine and it works just perfectly.
