I'm getting a virtually identical set of symptoms when booting off the the internal MMC on my 810.

I've updated the /etc/init.d/rc and added a number of logging statements to help identify where booting freezes and the watchdog process reboots. Here's the tail of syslog after failed boot:

Code:
Feb  3 21:34:10 Nokia-N810-50-2 user: Starting temp-reaper-startup.sh
Feb  3 21:34:10 Nokia-N810-50-2 DSME: Accepted new client connection

Feb  3 21:34:10 Nokia-N810-50-2 user: Starting media server
Feb  3 21:34:10 Nokia-N810-50-2 DSME: Accepted new client connection
Feb  3 21:34:12 Nokia-N810-50-2 init: Switching to runlevel: 6
Feb  3 21:34:12 Nokia-N810-50-2 DSME: Closed a client connection
Feb  3 21:34:13 Nokia-N810-50-2 exiting on signal 15
This section of the log was generated by /etc/osso-af-init/real-af-services and suggested to me that the lockup is being caused by the media server failing to start cleanly, however I get the same reboot, at the same point, even when I comment out this section of the script.

Is it possible that a process started by a previous init script has hung and caused the watchdog to restart. If so, has anybody got any pointers to tracking it down?

Thanks
