I've created a new OS 3.2.2.1 image in WinUAE and just moved it to a real A1200 with Blizzard 1230 mkIV. I transferred it from WinUAE by creating an LHA file withing the emulated Amiga, copying to the real Amiga CF card, which is connected via CF-IDE adapter, then unpacking it on the existing FFS partition.

The main difference is I use Blizkick in the real Amiga to use the 3.2 ROM. The real ROM is 3.0.

When it boots...
1) Loads new Kickstart and reboots
2) Runs loadmodule and reboots
3) starts to boot, crashes with flashing power light then a Software Failure red box.

I started debugging using hints found online and one step I tried was to add 'Set ECHO ON' as the first line in the startup-sequence to see what causes the crash but...

...with this line there, the Amiga boots to WB. Without the line, or it's commented out, I get the same crash every time. So it seems the issue isn't anything the SS is trying to run, but trying to run without output to screen.

Any ideas why this is happening please? Thank you.

Early startup menu and select trace boot, if I recall. It then boots giving you option to load each line of startup-sequence. As soon as you get to line that crashes it you will know. You can also tell it to log.
I bet its Loadwb.

One indication is that you say LoadModule resets the computer. If you use Blizkick to load the latest ROM, then there should not be a second reset by LoadModule.

Good point, forgot about that, as he is using updated rom.
However, shouldnt loadmodule check modules before loading, just incase they are already updated, then ignore loading them. If that makes sense.
Means you would not have to worry about commenting / removing suff from startup.
