I'm having trouble with my A2 mini terminator.

My A2 mini has the raspberry pi reporting "no any A1 board" during bootup.

But before I could get to that point in the bootup process, it used to never finish booting or connect to my router with this being the furthest it would go:

I bypassed this by typing "avoid_safe_mode=1" without quotes in config.txt

It seemed to work normally but I tried to enter the Clevermining pool info and it looked like it worked at first, until I refreshed the page where the cgminer stuff showed up as stopped.

I've tried other non-multipools but still nothing shows up as working.

I've tried using the image on ZoomHash's guide on another brand new SD card, and I still have to modify the config to get it to do anything, but even then it doesn't mine.

Is my Raspberry Pi defective, or am I missing something?
