If you have Backupmenu installed, you could try to fix your partitioning and file systems from a Linux-PC with gpartrd.
I am away from my PC, thus i am not able with to provide you with a link, but you might search the Wiki for 'Repartitioning'. http://wiki.maemo.org/Repartitioning...ng_made_simple

Right now my crystal ball is missing...
Please describe the setup (OS of your PC) you use, post the error messages, during flashing the device, could you remember the error message. We need any info you are able to provide.

If your partitioning is corrupted, the boot up may really take some time, because of the file system check the system is doing in the background. How long did you leave it running with the black screen?
