Vosk, what are the symptoms of the crash - does the miner lock up entirely, or does it just stop hashing (either on one board or all) ?
anyone have their g28 crash on groestl?
I have 15 G-28 and they randomly crash all the time. I cannot spend a day without having to manually unpower and power back at LEAST 6 unit as they do not cycle themselve upon a crash.

Oh, as some other said, got multiple board that were not in the right slot and bent. 1 unit wouldn't power up at all because one of the board was missing a capacitance and now only run with 6 instead of 7 board.
Seriously, never again will I purchase from Baikal unless they do something about this.
Has anyone found a fix for this? Two of my three G-28's crash atleast everyday while one of them seem to be able to go for a week or so. I am forced to power cycle them to get them to hash again, but about 50% of the time of when power cycling them they fail to boot up correctly and will not hash. This forces me to power cycle each machine sometimes multiple times in a row.
My solution to this was to put them on a switched PDU and/or smart outlets on a schedule to cycle every few hours; however half of the scheduled resets result in a non-hashing machine until the next scheduled reset (which is every 2-4 hours currently, I will have to adjust for more frequent resets however it seems they will still only correctly cycle about half the time.)
At this rate; since about 50% of my power cycles result in a non-functioning machine, the BK-G28's are effectively only hashing 50% of the time. This is catastrophic.
Anyone else with similar experiences?
First, you want to make sur that each board are well pluged to the uniting board, and then that the uniting board is well plugged with the orange Pi. It is the main cause of instability. Make sur to do this with G28 unplugged (not powered).
From my experience, when the previous was guaranteed ok, i had similar problems but with only with giant+ and baikal X, and it appears the first cause was the ethernert cable (replaced with better quality), or sd card neeeding reinstall (reformat or use a new sd card), or the orange pi needed to be swapped for a brand new one.
