#324828 - 01/08/2009 18:15 "Checking Media" when synching
tanstaafl. carpal tunnel Registered: 08/07/1999 Posts: 5549 Loc: Ajijic, Mexico	Yeah, the usual thing -- computer locked up during synch, had to kill Emplode, now it does the Checking Media thing every time I try anther synch. With two 80GB drives, this is rather time consuming. I did the manual fix as described in the FAQ: ro umount /dev/hda4 umount /dev/hdc4 swapon /swapfile fsck -fay / fsck -fay /dev/hda4 fsck -fay /dev/hdc4 swapoff /swapfile sync but it apparently failed with an error message. I have attached the Hyperterminal log. I rebooted the empeg, it started up normally, I started Emplode, and it started up normally so I figured I was home free. But when I did a synch, it did the "Checking Disc Integrity" thing for about 90 minutes before successfully completing the operation. That's where I am now, Emplode is still up and connected, and I don't want to shut it down in case there is something I should do while it is still running. What should my next step be? tanstaafl.

Oh, picky, picky, picky! Why can't my computer do what I want it to do instead of what I tell it to do? I re-ran the process (this time with all the commands spelled correctly) and it almost was completely successful. When I did my Emplode synchronization, everything went normally right up to the end, in the "Restarting Player" phase. It hung there, with Emplode saying "Waiting". I still had hyperterminal running, and it showed "Fan Controller Error" (I have the optional fan installed in my player), which is something I see occasionally on the player's display. I am going to assume that this was a one-time glitch that stopped Emplode (ignorance is bliss, right?) and pretend that everything is all right now. Hopefully the next time I synchronize with Emplode I won't find out differently. Thanks, Peter, for the sharp-eyed help! tanstaafl. _________________________ "There Ain't No Such Thing As A Free Lunch"

benjammin member Registered: 11/08/2002 Posts: 188 Loc: Champaign, IL	Fan Controller Error shouldn't stop it. I was seeing that on my unit until I changed the resistor values and then mlord changed the timing... Is it my fan controller you're using? What version of hiJack are you running? -Ben _________________________ Empeg Mk2 in fabulous green! Green Face, Green BackLit Buttons... GREEN...

My version of hiJack is whatever the latest version was as of last week. (It's version 508.) I won't be doing another synchronization until next week sometime, I guess we'll find out then if all is right with the world. tanstaafl. _________________________ "There Ain't No Such Thing As A Free Lunch"

Ben I installed one of your controllers for him back in February 2005. Hope you've got this resolved . Stu _________________________ If you want it to break, buy Sony!
