I seem to have a similar problem. I updated my iPod nano with the CVS
build from last night. Since then I have a:

Data abort
at 0002F068

failure whenever I try to browse my files or change my settings.

But my main problem is that entering disc mode does not work anymore. Well
it does work but it immediately switches to "Disconnected" which means my
computer is not able to recognise the iPod. I tried:

- to enter the Apple firmware, it switches just charges the battery,
nothing more happend.
- shut down the iPod and connect to computer. Rockbox boots,
shows USB symbol, enters disc mode and immediately "leaves" disc mode (you
can now disconnect)
- booting rockbox and then connecting to computer. Shows USB
symbol, enters disc mode and immediately "leaves" disc mode (you can now
disconnect)

I already switched the cable, so it is not a defect in the cable.

So now I am stuck a little bit. I can not change my firmware back to an
older version nor can I rerun ipodpatcher since the software can't "see"
the iPod because it never stays in disc mode for longer than a second or
so.

Any ideas?

Regards,
Adrian
