If you do have a console attached, you could boot up in 
runlevel 3 [ change this line in  etc/inittab :

id:5:initdefault

 change the 5 to a 3 and recopy your system ]  then you'll get a 
login prompt.  Once logged in you type startx.   Well, I hope it's
startx, but embedded X may be stripped down to a simpler command.
This might let you find out what's up with X.

With a slow hard drive and a fast processor, it's faster to load 
less from the hard drive and let the CPU uncompress it.  But with 
a flash disk and a not-so-fast processor, it may be the other way
around  You would have to test it.

I don't know enough about this to help.
