Please work towards a stable solution with Mr. Teal, who took your/our money for a license for something which has an engineering/design problem and is a closed source firmware project where code fixes take days to get.
A reason why I like open source. Maybe we could have allready an alternative q&d solution by patching the fw by community self ;-)

I need a work around that the board will start up without any problem. If this need much more time to hash a full speed it is ok. Save restart is better than have every day a look on the boards. In a few month we can kick the boards in the trash bin. Up to this time I want to put the boards in server racks to bring them to server room which is much more cooled and power is cheaper than at home. I hope everybody understands it will looks stupid if I stand at my rack with a hairdryer, not to forget the drive-in ;-).

Mr Teal, it is an option to open the source for the firmware if you have problems with time to fix/extend it? I guess most of chips are allready sold and your should not lost so much money by selling new boards ;-)

Cheers...

Probably not, though we've talked about it. I have given Lucko a version that slowly raises the maximum permitted voltage over the span on 5 minutes, which could help. It doesn't work on mine, though Lucko did indicate mine was the worst of the batch.
