It doesn't seem to have anything to do with actually having too many file in the root or anywhere else since both times the instalation was being done on a clean (empty) disk. I suspect that there is some problem that occurs on the initial startup when no actual config sector data exists on the disk and that somehow corrupts something that makes Rockbox use a corrupt value for the dir buffer size (and then Rockbox probably saves the corrupt value in the config sector). Since it only happened to me twice, I don't remember exactly what actions I had to take to get rid of the problem, and I haven't had a great desire to completely wipe a disk clean to try to re-create the bug. The bad thing about this bug is that experienced Rockbox users rarely if ever see it, but it will mainly hit brand new users who may then just assume that Rockbox doesn't work properly and just give up on Rockbox. ===== Craig rb_dev_at_yahoo.com __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
