My XO Boots but gets stuck loading the initrd.

OFW Q2E34

Here is what I see on the screen

Boot device: /nandflash:\boot\olpc.fth Arguments:
Boot device: /nandflash:\boot\vmlinuz0 Arguments: root=mtd0 rootfstype=jffs2
liveimg console=tty0 console=ttyS0,115200 boot_delay=3 fbcon=font:SUN12x22
Loading ramdisk image from nand:\boot\initrd0.img

It stays there its been about 20 minutes now.

Any ideas?

I tried two different USB sticks to create the img.

Thanks
Dave
