Using a 4-slot cRIO we ran into the same problem, stuck on the rebooting cRIO step. Tried it several times, killing it with the task manager after several minutes each time. I was using the pink crossover cable that came in the kit before for use with the camera. Finally we tried connecting to the cRIO through a router (wired..not wireless) and turning the console out dip switch to off and it worked. Had seen this suggestion for the router in a google search, the idea being that Windows can turn off the ethernet port on the PC when the cRIO reboots. We were very happy to see it work but then we weren't sure if it was the router or the console out switch change that made it work. So we turned the console out back on and it still worked. Finally we removed the router, left the console out on (original configuration) and it worked.. So now we are not sure what exactly made it start working.
