Root Koush's Clockwork recovery

Is RM giving anyone else a lot of problems in Recovery? About 75% of the time it either won't find the file I'm updating or it shuts down & reboots before I can even select Yes on the install page.
I'm running a 32GB card. Dunno if that has anything to do with it, but it didn't seem like I was having this trouble before with the same card.

Damn near every time. It is either that or I have to reflash Clockwork like 5 times before it sticks.

Yesterday and today I have had to reflash Clockwork recovery multiple times to stick. Then, if I reboot my phone a couple of times and then boot into recovery it will be back to the standard recovery.

Yesterday was my first experience with RM so I am still going slow with the training wheels on.

Is normal or am I missing something?

Oh yeah, also, when I did finally get clockwork to stick yesterday then every time I rebooted my phone it would take about 5X longer than usual checking my SD card for errors. Is that normal?

No, I don't think so. RM is being a bit flaky for me, too. Yesterday I tried to flash the Chevy kernel I had running last week with this same ROM clock and it rebooted while in ClockworkMod Recovery 6 times. (-A reboot in Recovery always makes me nervous.) It does this when I select "install update.zip from sd" but not once I'm in the Nandroid file to do a recovery or backup. I was probably in Recovery a total of about 12 times.
After the installation was finally successful, it wouldn't stop boot looping no matter what I tried. Then when I went back into Recovery manually to restore my latest backup, it decided it didn't like my sd card. I finally gave up on trying to install the Chevy kernel. I have a P3 in that OCs to 1.25GHz, but it's a battery whore so I'm going to have to curb it through SetCPU.

What a huge PITA. I hope I do not have a similar experience.

This is when people with short tempers contemplate entering the "40 yard custom phone toss" competition...

Cheers.
