Gotta love a thread that has lots of "Ok, I'm an idiot, sorry for wasting your time" ;-)

Code:
$ root # mount /dev/mmcblk0p2 /mnt/mmc22 # mount -n -t proc proc /mnt/mmc22/proc # mount -n -t sysfs sysfs /mnt/mmc22/sys # mount -n -o bind /mnt/initfs/tmp /mnt/mmc22/tmp # chroot /mnt/mmc22

I hear there's a fairly complete chroot script floating around that does a pretty good job of mounting all those things. Can't think of exactly what thread it's in, though.

I am also suffering from a n810 endless reboot.
If I enable R&D mode and set no-lifeguard-reset it boots up into the full GUI.
I checked "Control Panel -> Services" and everything is checked.
Can anyone advise me on how to check whats crashing? /var/log is empty so I'm not sure where the crash logs are.
Thanks

I, too, have this plague (with my N800)!
I reflashed to Diablo, and after undoing Lifeguard, it booted after several attempts. Before the no LG, the bar would go across a third of the way, then reappear near the far end (weird) and hang!
I had to reboot after a couple of days due to the browser not launching due to "insufficient memory"(!)
Now it won't boot at all; typically the blue bar makes it across the bottom screen all the way, then the loop recurs after a total of 45 seconds.
I will reflash to 2007,(and reset no LG) but I still did experience looping under it as well (just not as persistently).
At this point I'm wondering if it's a h/w problem. I'm tempted to re-watch that video of an N800 being dismantled, and just going in and re-heating soldering joints in case there's a disturbed/cold one somewhere (I'm only half-joking here). It's out of warranty now, anyway. I wonder if there's such a thing as a "lower level" re-flashing (akin to earlier hard drives).
This device is providing no end of frustration! At the same time, I do like it when it's working!

(1/2 hour later):
Well, I reflashed back to OS 2007 with the no LF on the command line, and it actually booted up first try!
Perhaps Diablo is a little more...fussy?
Meanwhile, I'll see if I can get by for a good while without having to reboot.

touch /etc/no_lg_reboots worked
So now I can boot to it... now to figure out what I did to screw things up :P
EDIT: Okay, so I realized I had accidentally disabled "hal" :/ Wow, I'm kinda dumb sometimes :P My apologies for wasting people's time
Thank you qole for your help!
Promises are like babies. Fun to make, but hard to deliver.
Warning: dates on calendar are closer than they appear.
