Not sure if this works on the Wallstreet, but I know on later model like the Pismo, if the CPU daughtercard (does WS have one of those?), if the card is not fully seated, the CPU connector pins don't make good contact and you get problems with booting. If the Wallstreet has a daughtercard for the CPU, make sure it is fully seated. That *might* be the source of the problem(s). Those who have experience with Wallstreets, please feel free to correct me or confirm/deny this as a potential source for Sid's problem.
