OK , so if it now boots OK and you got to the desktop in 5.18 then it
looks like either something in the boot sequence doesn't like 5.18 or
you may have some modules disabled in 5.16.
5.18 altered the numbering of the modules so do a "unplug" check at
the command line on 5.16 and see what is unplugged, reflash and re
initialise the modules prior to a reboot.
One other suggestion is stop the autoload of any programmes at startup
via configure and also have you got !HID running as some people had
stated that causes issues on 5.18 if autoloaded unless it set to load
modules after the desktop.
Failing that a clean !Boot from the ROOL site might help as a number
of hard disc components have been updated.
