Rockbox does not load properly
I installed rockbox to my H320 last week and have been updating it with the daily builds. It was all working fine until today. I was playing a track and it froze after the first few seconds. I reset it and booted up again, the same thing happened so I reset again. Now whenever I turn my H320 on it boots rockbox up, then I get this message

IO4 : I11Insrt
at 983C8C04

The IRiver firmware stil loads so I was able to reflash my player and reinstall todays daily build, but I still get the same message. Any ideas what to do?

Check to see if you have a Rockbox directory on you player. Being that the OEM firmware boots it's most probably the Rockbox installation which is not working properly. I suggest to uninstall Rockbox, then follow the Rockbox instalaltion procedure again. Wait for additional posts on your thread also. I am a noob at this myself.

Cheers for the quick reply. I have the rockbox folder on my player, I put todays daily build on. Will try uninstalling and reinstalling later when I have some time. I'll post the results when I do.

Great. If I am not mistaken you will need to flash back to native firmware before upgrading again to Rockbox. This will involve recopying the H300.HEX file back to your root directory. The size should be about 2.43MB (Not sure on exact size but you get the idea), not the 4 plus MB size you used for the Rockbox patch.

No, that's not necessary at all. Just unzip the new daily build onto the player.

I know but the OP stated he couldn't successfully install the daily build. Having said that I figured that he may need to install the entire Rockbox again. Then again, I am just a noob like stated before also.

Great work with the Rockbox, BTW.

I think you might have misunderstood, I put todays daily build on, and I also reinstalled the bootloader. Neither of these fixed the problem. I have just now flashed my player back to the OEM firmware and then back to rockbox, which made no difference. I still get the same message.
I noticed that there is a file on my player called "internal_rom_00 0000-3FFFFF.bin" which wasn't there before rockbox crashed, I'm thinking that this may be the problem, but I don't want to delete it in case it causes more problems. Cheers for the help guys

If you are talking about what's in the root directory it's not located in my player. I think you can safely temporarily move this to your main computer to see if this resolves the problem. After doing this disconnect, shut down, then restart the player again to launch Rockbox.

Do you have a "codecs" directory in the .rockbox directory? Does it have a number of codec files in it?

Yup. It has 10 .codec files in it. But I don't think it's codecs that are the problem. I can't even get to see the files on the player to play them in rockbox. It gets to the rockbox logo, then I get the error message.

How about the file rockbox.iriver? I am not too sure if it's important but it's on my player.

The .rockbox folder is in the root directory?

Sorry if these questions seem pretty basic, but it has been the source of similar problems with others.

Yup it is. Rockbox was running fine until today, so I don't think my installation is wrong

One other question: What firmware did you use to build into Rockbox? At the present time the only OEM firmwares listed on the Rockbox site slated for downloading are 1.28K and 1.28EU.

I used 1.28K, my player is the European version. Do you think that formatting my player would help?

Wait for a response from the Rockbox team. Your last ditch scenario would be reformatting the player, which will in turn destroy your music as well. Make a backup just in case you will need it to format it.

psychokilltron: try to install this build:

http://linus.haxx.se/psychokilltron.zip

This will reset the settings and hopefully restore your Rockbox.

Installed the build. Rockbox now works perfectly. Cheers Linus. Any idea what might have caused this so I know don't make this problem again? Rockbox is great btw.
Thanks again for all your help guys

My guess is that you played a track that made Rockbox crash, and you had Resume enabled. Everytime you started Rockbox it tried to resume and crashed.

I have found when I've done this that if I connect to the PC and rename the playlist_control under the rockbox folder, booting back into RockBox works.

It complains it can't find playlist_control but then creates a new one.

Hope this helps others.
