- What are the kernel messages that you are saying?
- Have you checked to see if the board is is still active via network?
- Have you tested with a different SD Card?

Pretty sure the video mode is just being set wrong. Did you set the run level or something since you mentioned headless? Have you tried to SSH into it?

didn’t look like anything unusual, but I’ll try and grab a photo before it disappears from screen. Waiting on ‘apt upgrade’ rn.
-
the devices MAC has a fixed DHCP lease. The IP becomes and remains unreachable as soon as I enter ‘sudo reboot’.

this is a previously known to be good card (it had a working OS on it prior to todays messing around), but I’ll try another for good measure.

Grab the sd card, and look at it on your pc. If windows can’t read it, do so from another linux (live boot Ubuntu or something on your windows machine).
The journal log is stored at either one of
/run/log/journal/machine-id/*.journal/var/log/journal/machine-id/*.journal

Seems it was a bad card.
Tried a different one and all is well again.

SD cards get thrashed pretty quickly from high I/O usage. Install and setup log2ram to mitigate some of that issue, and put any heavy logging to wherever you set the log2ram mount. Note this will extend the life of the SD card, but reduce your available RAM while running. Another option is getting an NVME hat or USB adapter to not run on off of SD.
