Ok my problem with my office system was not corrupt storage as I performed the same thing on my build system and it has done EXACTLY the same thing. I’m not going stupid (stupider) after all.
I upgraded to 1.2.7 i686 and then reverted to 1.2.6.1 i686 and this is what I receive when booting: ----- Runnix version 'runnix-0.4-7583' starting...
