katre,

When you boot back into Rockbox does it say "Settings Cleared"? If so, it
may be that you switched on "Hold" while it was booting. This is supposed to
clear the settings.

Another thing that I'd suggest is use the "Manage Settings" menu when you
have everything set up right so you can quickly load them again if you
forget to leave hold off. That's what I do with my Nano.

Good luck,
-Peter
