iPod Photo appears to lock up during boot

<< < (2/3) > >>

zeb:
I've just forced a reboot and it said it was committing the changes to the databases.  It's now stuck at the rockbox logo on the wallpaper of my chosen theme!

zeb:
OK, I've been having a play and I thought I'd try an older version of rockbox.  I gave http://solutions-i.org/julius/rockbox/rockbox-jbuild-4g-20070120-cop.zip a go and the jBlackGlass theme and it works a treat.  It hasn't hung once!

Any idea what may have changed in the last couple of months that would have affected stability?  Or is there a patch in the custom build that improves things?

Many thanks.

Chill:
I can report an identical experience to Zeb's.  As a long time user of Rockbox on my iriver H140 I though putting Rockbox on my wife's old 20GB ipod colour/photo would be easy, but I've been pulling my hair out and cursing Rockbox for an hour or so, because it's been hanging at various points exactly as Zeb has described - only rarely did it get past the Apple logo.  Like Zeb, I've also restored the ipod, and I'm using the latest ipodpatcher.

I put on the same build that Zeb linked to above, and it works a treat.  I suppose the next step would be to try some later builds and see when the problem was introduced.

Chill:
I've tried various archived daily builds between 20/01 and 17/03 to try and find the date when this problem was introduced.  In my testing, the build from 13/03 seems to work OK (haven't tested it for long, but it booted OK and started playing a track OK), whereas the build from 14/03 hung during boot up.

I can't see anything obvious in the changelog for 14/03.  Maybe Zeb could try these two builds as well.

buckminster:
I just tried Rockbox for the first time yesterday and was having problems as well with the 17.03 build (as well as 16.03-14.03). I tried the 13.03 as Chill suggested and everything seems to be running fine now.
