I received my miner yesterday after it was send out to my old address even though i updated it on my AMT account. DHL was able to get a hold of me to make the delivery.

First of all there box seemed like it has seen better days, it was all beaten up. No biggie it's just the box, right? Then i opened the box (unboxing video coming soon) and it has two rusty pieces of metal, WTF?!, below all that senseless metal i found the miner.

The rackmountable unit seems very well build although the paint is a bit rough. Hey, fortunately nobody will be looking at this thing on a daily basis.

Powered on, i couldn't get to it, apparently it comes with a presetted ip, no DHCP?? are we in the 80s?

I had to open the top of the box and unscrew the Raspberry PI in order to connect an HDMI to be able to see what is going on. IP was shown on boot-up messages.

Prior to this i asked amt_miner about the root password (my brother got his before i did and he hasn't got access to it yet). He provided root/pi as password, that didn't work.

So i decided to backup the current image and installed the one amt_miner sent me (same as posted in forum).

I removed the SD and image it to the one posted a few post back, and used the password root/admin, that worked! We are making progress..

Put SD back into PI, boot, logged in, setup correct ip,subnet,etc, tested pinging the world, all ok.

Http'ed into the local ip, and got a gui to setup my pool, username, password, GREAT!! Click start now, green light says running, GREAT!, not so fast, after a quick reload the light is back to red, STOPPED!.

Troubleshooted the code, added --verbose to the cgminer command and this is what i got on the cgminer.log:
