Freezing sometimes when starting rockbox

(1/2) > >>

Yari:
So I'm a new with rockbox and the proplem is: I installed the current bluild to my 5g video ipod. Sometimes when I turn my ipod on it freezes, some image flashes on the screen and goes off, I have to reset ipod. Sometimes it starts fine. I have installed rockbox bootloader and I suppose it's of course the new one. Can anyone say is the problem bootloader or rockbox ? Should I try loader2 or what? I'm a bit confused with all these bootloaders and versions.

Update:
It looks like that image that flashes is battery with warning triangle, then ipod hangs.  But this keeps coming occassionally even when battery isn't low.

lini:
I have the same issue and it's been like this for a while now. Usually it happens when the battery is around 80% (almost full). I have to Menu+Select reset the ipod and Rockbox boots normally after that.

Do you have rockbox bootloader or iploader2? I try to find out does it help if i changer to loader2. Ipodloader2 seems to be bit harder to install, so i dont install it unless it fixes the problem.

iPodPhoto:
Yes this same thing happens to me on my Ipod Photo

it seems to be a problem with the way Rockbox preforms a shutdown. The modified bootloader thinks that it is a forced shutdown due to low battery. But if you use the Loader2 this problem doesnt seem to happen

NOTE: If you use Loader2 you will need to use the experimental build due to changes in the way rockbox accesses the PP core. I would advice not preforming the manual patch unless you know what you are doing.

Llorean:
Out of curiosity: What evidence do you have that it has ANYTHING to do with how Rockbox shuts down?

The low battery message happens before Loader2 or the Rockbox bootloader, and can have nothing to do with which one of those is installed.
