Well, no joy with that seemingly. Still have the same problem. Couple of issues I had whilst doing the procedure that you linked, Tony. When I typed the lines 'umount /dev/hda4' & 'umount /dev/hdc4' I got a bash error saying 'unmount no such file or directory'. Also, after typing 'fsck -fay /dev/hda4' and waiting a while, the player got to the 5th check and then even after 10 hours, I still couldn't type anything further in Hyperterminal. Had to reboot the player and shutdown/restart hyperterminal before continuing. Perhaps I should try the whole procedure again...
I logged the player booting and an attempt to upload some MP3s. I think the error is when I click synchronise, the player is rebooting rather than writing files or a new config. I can't even edit the config.ini file. Emplode states 'checking media' but the player is rebooting... log follows:
