the comment says to try disconnecting USB devices...and that worked for me. it is able to boot if i unplug the USB hub & keyboard i've got on it. updating doesn't seem to fix it, so the problem remains.
but i tried plugging the devices into the USB3 port instead of one of the USB2 ports, and that seems to have fixed it.
i'm tempted to get to the bottom of it, but honestly i'll probably never think about it again
Sounds power related. There is not enough power to run the board and the USB hub (which also draws power). I bet if you hook up a more substantial power supply, it may work.
OTOH, USB3 spec provides for more power than USB2 (which is only 500 mA) so maybe not.
Power and sd card related issues are the vast majority of problems with SBC. See here for more detail.
