1231G LWAPP 12.3(7)JX rebooting over and over

I recently converted a 1231G from 12.3(7)JA IOS to LWAPP 12.3(7)JX. The AP now tries to join the controller (4404)but receives no join response and reboots. I have heard a rumor that there may be a problem with the certificate that's created on the AP during the conversion for certain older 1231's but can't find anything about it on Cisco's site. Does anyone know where I can find documentation on how to fix this? The errors from the AP log follow:

*Mar 1 00:00:23.473: %LWAPP-5-CHANGED: LWAPP changed state to DISCOVERY

Problem resolved!! I smashed all the 1231's with a sledge hammer! no.... just kidding.

Actually here's what I had to do: make sure the time is set right on all the controllers, AP's and the pc running the upgrade tool, also had to blow away the old config file before uprading. Don't ask me why but if I converted to lwapp without starting from scratch (i.e. no configuration after holding down the mode button and loading a default IOS -12.3(7)JA) it would end up in a reboot loop as before for some reason.

So thank you all very much! I appreciate your help.
