yea minera image wont boot, the raspbian jessie lite boots fine.... its not just minera, its minepeon, scripta images as well.
minera just needs a new kernel for the quad core.
im using it with RPI 2 and 3 both are quad core it boots fine for me .
but i usually manually install it with ubuntu 15 16 etc but it worked two day ago with no issue , i used the per made image.
