Thanks for the reply Sarton,

I'm in the process now of flashing in another load onto the Neo. I

have the SD card that came with the Neo. I'm running from FLASH right

now. I never put a load on the SD.
I'm not so sure I would accuse the boot loader unless there's

something you know that I don't. The system does start to boot but it

fails somewhere along the way. The kernel is loading but fails while

loading modules I think. I noticed that when it has stopped writing to

the console I can then plug in or remove the USB cable and I get the

usual module load/unload output to the console. I'm beginning to

suspect that the X server is dying. Unfortunately, I can't get at the

device through a console to muck about with it.
Cheers!!
