Yeah...just like I said.
I was trying to update boot image, and no dice.
Everything was nandroided and I re updated 0.7 BB 2.1 for cleanliness. Everything is peachy when on battery, not on USB.
EVEN after cleaning cache and all that, reboot loop. I didn't nandroid this issue, I know that.

Any advice?

Quick update - I installed update.zip of .8 stable.
Now I'm pissed.

edit - It may have to do with the SD card. I noticed that it took a while for the SD card to initialize at boot the past couple of days.
I unmounted the SD card twice and it immediately rebooted. Hopefully this will narrow the search.

Well, wouldn't a way to find out if it is indeed the card be to remove it and start the phone? Nothing on the card is needed to actually run the phone is there? Then if that works.. use a card reader to copy your files to the pc and format it?

I have run the phone with an unmounted card.
I will copy and then format it - that's a good idea.
In the morning, I am going to "try" not to do it today (morning), lol
