This is really puzzling as the slots of the Stagecoach are effectively
identical save the console connection on the first slot and,
potentially, the data in the EEPROM that (IIRC) is specific to each
slot.  When you move the Overo back to the first slot, does it boot
again?  Is the Overo seating properly on the connectors in other
slots?  What rev. boards are you using?

Short answer: no.  As Stagecoach is designed right now, only the first
slot has a console port available.

Sorry that I can't be more help but this is a bit bizarre.
