Hello everyone:
I have just purchased a used Empeg Mark-II, and I'm having a problem using either Emplode or Jemplode on it. Currently, I have firmware version 2.01 Developer installed with Hijack installed from v476.hijack.mk2.zImage, and Emplode version 2.0 installed on my Windows XP pc. I have also followed the directions on the empeg FAQ about replacing the hard drive, and I have replaced the stock hard drive with a 120GB drive. When initializing this drive, I used the builder_bigdisk.upgrade file.
When I start Emplode, it searches for my Empeg, and is always able to find it (I have tried connecting 3 different ways - COM port, USB port, and crossover cable, which is what I would prefer to use, since it is supposedly faster.) Once I select my Empeg on the Select Player screen, I see messages that read "Remounting Disks" then "Waiting". Once it says "Waiting", the details show that it is processing the "Rebuilding Database" task, with a status of "Executing". Once Emplode reaches this stage, it crashes, and gives me the dreaded "Rio emplode has encountered a problem and needs to close" message. I get this result no matter how I hook up my Empeg.
When I try the same thing using Jemplode v69, my device is listed (as long as it's hooked up via either Ethernet or USB), and it looks like it's working fine, until it gets to the Rebooting Player stage. When this happens, the Empeg reboots, but Jemplode doesn't seem to acknowledge the fact that the Empeg has rebooted. When Jemplode gets stuck at this stage, I have tried rebooting several times via my Hijack menu, but with no luck.
I have also repeated all of these steps using version 2.0 of the firmware, but I still get all the same results.
I have also attached my Hyperterminal bootlog at the bottom of this post, in case that helps.
Does anyone know what I can do to get music onto my Empeg?
Thanks in advance!
