Yes, that sounds like a hardware type
of problem.
Suggestions for you to try ...
- try a longer time without battery or external power,
How long is longer? overnight?
- check that the AC adaptor is plugged in, in case the
battery is
failing to provide enough current to start things
up,
When I re-flash and first boot I always have AC plugged in case of a FW update or battery
failure
What model XO-1.5 is it?
I believe is a production machine (C2?)

I'm not familiar with that message. Could you explain
further from your
memory of the event what else was present?
On my first boot I start with the check mark pressed so I can see what's going on. So
it was at the boot console.
I can not recall the exact message. Was something about mass storage devices but not quite
remember. 4.x sec into the boot process.
Did not look like the "zero dot freeze" because the camera light was not on.

I hope you didn't do this during a firmware
reflashing. That would be
bad.
No I didn't.
Actually I was surprise that was no FW update.
My XO-1.5 had q3a39, but the latest is q3a41. Is os205 using q3a39? (ok, I can find that
:)
Should I be sending it back for diagnosis if everything else fails or just consider it
random failure?
