  Between your terseness, and gmane's scrambling of things that look like
email addresses, it is difficult to tell just what is happening.

  Note1: recent OS images have disabled root login; you have to login as
debian, and use sudo to get to root privileges.

  Note2: depending on just what has been done (if I toggle between
booting from SD card and booting from eMMC this happens) it may be that the
randomly generated SSH key/certificate has changed, so doing an SSH from a
window that had previously connected may be using an old key, and that key
is being rejected (for putty, I have to do "new session" as "restart
session" gets the refused result; new session pops up a window that the
certificate does not match what was last used, and do I want to accept that
new certificate)

Though obscure, I am unsure if this is related to the issue I highlighted here[1]. I would suggest connecting a console cable and see if there is any output during boot. Thanks.
