It's hard to tell from your description, but most likely you have some
external device(s) plugged in to the XO-1.5 (such as an USB ethernet
adapter, or an USB keyboard).  If so, UNPLUG these devices before
turning on the XO-1.5.  [You can plug them in again once the XO-1.5
shows the Sugar screen (e.g., Home View).]

At least with my own XO-1.5, that is how I avoid the machine
continuously restarting.  [ For me, the continuous restart occurred
because I had an USB keyboard plugged in, and I happened to press a key
on that keyboard right after turning on the XO-1.5 ]

By the way, it helps to make sure you have the latest firmware in the
XO-1.5.  I'm using Q3A35.
