Well, it looks like emplode is consistently timing out at "Writing Player Configuration" even after having fixed the fsck issue. I simply can't get into the player to edit the config.ini file and have emplode save it. All of this to change ReserveCache=xx to 50.

I'm guessing that Alpha10 may not be for me but I'm baffled why it's happening. I thought the memory board would have taken care of this stuff... but now I can't even connect to the player via ftp or emplode unless the player app is shut down...

The bummer is that since it's failing at "Writing Player Config.." the filesystem isn't getting remounted correctly and I have to spend 2+ hours fsck'ing in order to try again with the same results.

Maybe I'll have more luck with 2.10?
