So, I've tried swapping back to my nearly new HF4 beta which was on the nand, but the boot seems to hang when it tries to load X, with a blank screen (but backlight is on)

I booted to a prompt using this:
Code:
setenv bootargs ubi.mtd=4 ubi.mtd=3 root=ubi0:rootfs rootfstype=ubifs rw rootflags=bulk_read console=tty0 vram=6272K omapfb.vram=0:3000K init=/bin/bash
ubi part boot && ubifsmount boot && ubifsload 0x80300000 uImage && bootm 0x80300000 && boot
and it seems that /sys and /proc are un-populated (then again, I guess I'm maybe running bash, and not the kernel, so that makes sense) other than that, stuff looked reasonably OK.

Re-booted, and it seems back to normal. Wierd, but at least it went away without a reflash...
 
Very odd. My SD boot did the same, twice, and it's now back working. I have log files from that, and (although I haven't done a diff) it seems like everything was running. Just no visible X.
The only possible explanation is that I probably did 'sudo shutdown now' rather than logout from xfce.
