Exactly. The very first time I ran it, I had a read error while the
installation was ongoing (about one third
of the way through copying from the installation partition to the root
partition). Subsequently, after many
retries, I actually got past the installations stage, only to fail while
booting. Eventually (we are talking
days here) I actually got it to run Raspbian. It wasn't until then that I
attempted to run it with hardware
connected to the GPIO.
Then the kernel panicked again. Then I gave up.

The fact that the Zero sometimes works.
Having said that I now realise that I misunderstood what the original article
said (or only half read it) and
have now found the entry in lsusb (I was expecting the hard disk to activate,
like it does normally, (and
does on a Windows machine)). So my Pi isn't dead (which makes more sense, but
cannot reliably read
from the SD Card.

I've tried to boot from a freshly burned official image more times than I can
count.

I can bring it along, but I would have to bring a monitor, mouse and keyboard
too. I'm not convinced that
it can reveal much, because once it has corrupted, it takes some time to get
back to the starting point.
Then we go round again.....
I'm seeing Clive tomorrow at the Model Town, so I may have been able to try
Peter's Zero before Tuesday
evening.
