I seem to have found something else, too. If I have more than 10 blades connected the GUI fails to display, says that the miner isn't running. But I can SSH into it and check the screen output from minerd to see that's not the case.
Anyone else running more than 10 devices on this distro?

I can confirm this. In fact if you try to run more than 10 blades many issues begin.
Most recently after I did a fresh image flash to an SD and turned up my raz for the first time to input pool info for mining I got a:
Warning!
I can't get the stats from your minerd. Please try to refresh the page or check your settings (minerd API must listen on 127.0.0.1:4028).
in the dashboard.
stats.json:
{"error":true}
Log shows:

many times over but other than mining for 10 whole blades (pool confirms this) still nothing. I also tried forcing api port to 4028 via parameter but still nothing.
Another more critical issue is that it will not mine on more than 10 G-Blades (roughly 20 blade boards) at a time. This is a super critical problem because it has forced me to run all blades on 3 raspberry pi's (plus no stats reading =/) and yes yes proper usb powered hubs, same exact setup allows me to mine with all G-blades on an adjacent laptop.
Just as critical, over time, G-blades seem to stop mining one by one until I reset the device (manually) and the low (difficulty) reject rate is exponentially high for at least the first 45 minutes or so.
I've messed with it long enough by now to safely assume these are bugs born from both cpuminer and minera being incompatible with running over 10 whole G-Blades.
If anyone, anyone, has a fix for this it would be super duper appreciated
