Chronon:
Does this mean there will be a different method for clearing settings?  Previously booting with "Hold" on would cause settings to be cleared.  I guess this can still be done via the menus so maybe it's not a big deal.

No, the hold switch still clears the settings.  The difference now is that you need to turn the hold switch on between the time the bootloader starts, and the time Rockbox starts.

So you have a comment in section g) (troubleshooting) about how "rockbox error -1" seems to be the most common problem.  I'd love to see what content is going into this section, because that's the problem that I am having.

I have an iPod mini 2G, and it will not boot with the new firmware.  The full output when I boot is as follows:

Rockbox boot loader
Version: 20061220-0911
IPOD version: 0x0007000
ST660211CF
Partition 1: 0x0B 5820
Rockbox error : -1
Loading original firmwa

And then it freezes and never loads the "original firmware"  Below is the output of when I write the new firmware to disk.

Any help is appreciated.

Llorean:
Error: -1 means that it can't find rockbox.ipod in the root of the device.

jamesmh:
Right, thanks.  Bootloader working.
