It is a fresh install on a new card as I said in my post. What Ineed to do is get past the newest version assigning itself an IP that is no where near what my local network is set for. DHCP is neabled on my router as I indicated, and yet it still assigns an address well out of range. I sue the typical 192.168.x.x range for my local network and it is assigning 169.251.101.33 to itself. and as I said with no way to gain access to Minera, either direct or through web interface, I cannot change the IP to something within range of my network. Currently I resorted to using an older card with v.7.0 on it just to have it mining until I can get something figured out on the latest version.
Hi, a 169.x.x.x address is what is called a self-assigned address. This means your Pi is not talking to your DHCP server. I would, first, reboot your router. If that fails to fix the DHCP issue, try to console connect and set the IP manually. Or, try a clean Raspian install image to ensure it's not an issue with your Pi or the 9.0 image.
Personally, I did an in-place upgrade from 8.0 to 9.0 without issue. I have not tested the 9.0 image.
