Well, I think I've tried every "solution" I could find by websearching. It's ****ed. Just to summarize what's happened:
1: It was OK when I got it, could boot into the pre-installed Ubuntu.
2: Successfully installed ARMedslack on USB to use on it.
3: Successfully installed ARMedslack on SDHC to use on it.
4: Booted OK into ARMedslack a couple of times, at intervals, with no problems.
5: Problems started. No obvious cause.Posted 02-22-2012 at 05:59 AM by brianL -
Seems like broken hardware now.

No, don't think so. The problem happens when it starts loading the kernel. Instead of the usual messages, all that gibberish shown in the screenshot appears. Every time I plug it in, both LED's come on, so I think the hardware's OK. I'll probably have another go at it in a month or so, possibly try building a new kernel for it. That will mean installing a cross-compiler, etc.

Oh that's why. I thought building own kernel was supposed to be the first step for debugging embedded devices.

Anyway, I don't think the kernel is the problem, since I get more or less the same results on my desktop and laptop (dual-booting Slack and Debian "squeeze"). That's three sheevaplug-installers.
This is the only other reference to a similar problem I found:
