I'd suggest reflashing the root jffs2 image again (perhaps
worth making sure
it matches the supplied md5sum first, in case the download
was corrupted
somehow). Once you've done that and started to boot it up,
make sure you wait
a reasonable amount of time (a few minutes) before declaring
it dead since
the first boot can take a bit longer.
I'd also suggest making sure the device is powered from the
AC adapter but
*not* plugged into your PC via USB for the first boot.
Cheers,
Paul
