No real fix other than a reflash IIRC?
I had this once many moons ago, after downloading a buch of apps all at once. The phone started to lag so I gave it a reboot, my only guess was rootfs had became full and could no longer boot?

Hope someone can please advise....
N900 was working fine...or at least appeared to be....
I shutdown N900, but today when I tried to boot it up, it seems to get 'stuck' at the part where the screen is black and you see the horizontal row of several blinking tiny little white dots.
Have waited for quite awhile for it to get past that part, but it doesn't, seems to get stuck there and so display doesn't change, just see the blinking white dots...
Any way to 'clear this' or do I need to reflash?
Thanks!

You post actually had me checking rootfs space too, 40mb free. I had better be careful too, lol.
Hope you get it sorted ok mate.

You might have to flash., If you have used backupmenu lately, you can be back to normal in no time. First, though, make sure your battery is completely charged, using something other than your N900 to charge it, because this could just be a matter of recovering from that condition. Rebooting with a fully charged battery might get you past the dots.

had a situation recently too where my N900 didn't want to start up any more neither.
i'm on GNU / Linux thus don't usually have LostDOS around (except @ work ) but for some reason had that started up & running that evening, so i tried to connect the N900 to that...
it took the PC (with se7en 64bit) a connection to recognize the N900 but after that NOKIA Suite (i had installed a few months ago to upgrade N8 to Belle) kuicked in and the N900 started up
if you have a PC with NOKIA Suite handy, it might be worse a try...
