Ive honestly never seen that error before, and I run almost 10k S9/T9s. I know its been mentioned a few times on the forum here but I dont recall seeing a good answer :/

Thanks, I worked out a warranty repair with bitmain. I assume you use dhcp also? And do you have any suggestions for internal servers besides dhcp dns and ntp?

Actually I do not allow DHCP on the production floor, everything is set static and each vlan is locked down pretty well. DNS and NTP are the only ones I run for the servers. I have tried various proxy pools at different times but they all have issues so I nixed that idea.

Alright, I will see if bitmain will do a warranty repair. I really appreciate your experience with these issues because otherwise I would be way more clueless Huh

Thanks! I should have guessed, that did the trick for about 90-95% of them. It seems on a select few the issue still persists, although the kernel log hangs on "Start bmminer ..." instead of giving endless output.

Also, what is your preferred method of flashing firmware when you encounter the code 413 - Request Entity Too Large? Is there any other method besides using a microSD card, and how exactly do you put the firmware on the microSD? Do you extract the files first? And what format, is FAT32 sufficient?

That error has been exclusively showing up on 1117 firmware machines. The downgrade to the april firmware always fixes it for me.

I am seeing more and more antminer s9s that will not boot and are stuck in an endless loop of grep bmminer, any suggestions on how to address this issue?

https://pastebin.com/BTAzQE7m

Code:

bmminer not found= 1369 root       0:00 grep bmminer
 
bmminer not found, restart bmminer ...
bmminer not found= 1387 root       0:00 grep bmminer
 
bmminer not found, restart bmminer ...
bmminer not found= 1396 root       0:00 grep bmminer
 
bmminer not found, restart bmminer ...
bmminer not found= 1405 root       0:00 grep bmminer
 
bmminer not found, restart bmminer ...
bmminer not found= 1414 root       0:00 grep bmminer
 
bmminer not found, restart bmminer ...
bmminer not found= 1432 root       0:00 grep bmminer

etc...
