was about to try this today and found another problem... my pi was frozen so i restarted it and it says PANIC: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(179,2)
Entering kdb (current=0xda82aca0, pid 1) due to keyboard entry
..................

this is what happened before to make me reinstall like 5 days ago... i am going to reinstall again and hope for a fix soon

Forget what it says about the keyboard, that is just the default that was passed to the kernel.

What it most likely means though is that your SD Card is going bad (the unknown-block(179,2) error message makes it plain).

Last time you re-installed did you use a new SD card? If not I would say the SD card was the problem then too.

I had the same problem as the poster above yesterday. Got the same error "Entering kdb (current=0xda82aca0, pid 1) due to keyboard entry". I was never able to reboot and I was never able to reinstall the image to the SD card (brand new SanDisk Class 10), so I think the SD is shot. Reinstalled Minepeon on a Lexar Pro card today and just got the same kdb error after a couple of hours. This time I was able to unplug the Raspi and get a reboot and it seems to running OK now.

My Raspi is constantly shutting itself down and rebooting (every 30 min to 1hr), I'm assuming it is not supposed to do this?

I have two Manhattan 2.0 USb hubs attached running 5 Block Erupters each.

Any suggestions as to what may be causing these problems?

For the issue about the rPi shutting down, are you powering the rPi off a USB hub or do you have a stand-alone 5v1a source for it?

If you are powering it off of a hub, I would suggest using a stand-alone power source. (Apple USB chargers work great, as they are 5v 1a.)
