Aeotec z-stick 5+ hangs

Hi,
I’ve got a raspberry pi 3, and I get home assistant installed, and I turn off Bluetooth off per the instructions. If I try to follow the aeotec instructions, the zwave mtqq process fails to start.
If I start over and reflash home assistant, then try to start zwavejs, that hangs.
If I try to boot with the z-stick plugged in, home assistant never completes booting.
Any idea what is going on?

Ok - the issue was a bad micro SD card.
I re-flashed to a new card, and now can integrate the Z-stick.
