One possibility is that the RTC chip is hung, and this is causing your
disk to be fsckd and rebooting each time. This just happened to me -
luckily I have serial, so I could see what was going on.
Removing the battery for a few minutes and reinstalling it fixes that
problem in most cases.
See http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/HowTo/OpenTheCase for instructions
on opening the case. Removing the battery is left as an exercise for
the reader :-)
