Brian asked regarding the age of my Book Port.

It turns two this month!  How amazing is that?  But in terms of constant
use, it's probably about 22.

        Hello Nolan.  I'm pretty sure the "FS" in "FS panic" stands for
file system.  I get this too on occasion when I press the 8 key,
especially when I'm listening to an audio file, I'm more than half way
through that file, and that file is near the end of a large directory.
If you have another flash card, with different material on it, I'd try
playing that, and seeing if you still get the same behavior as you do
now when you try to delete  a file.  It sounds like what might be going
on is that the messages table in your internal flash might be slightly
corrupt.  If deleting files on multiple cards produces the same set of
beeps and funny messages, then I'd try forcing a reinstall of the
firmware to the bookport.  You are running V2.2, right?  Perhaps APH
could comment on the proper way to force a reload of the firmware to the
Bookport.  I can tell you howto do the forced reload, but I don't think
my instructions are the official way, and I'd like to see ApH offer some
up before offering my own.

P.S.  How old is your bookport?
-Brian
