Hi Lucas, Thanks for the confirmation. My guess is that the extra time taken to relocate the Apple firmware (which happens only when it is not the default) ensures that the race condition does not occur. I hope to get a chance to test this on the weekend and if all goes well will hopefully sort out a fix then. cheers, bern.

loader.bin

Hi all, Attached is an updated loader.bin which I believe resolves the problem people are seeing with the lockups in the Apple firmware. Unfortunately I can't reproduce it on my iPods so if people with the problem could give this a try that would be great. Simply replace the loader.bin in the existing release, re-create your firmware image with make_fw and install to your iPod. thanks, bern.
