The only way past this is the ctrl-alt-del and try again, and after a couple of tries I get into Simpleminer.
I have KVM over IP on the way, just to be able to bypass this remotely.
I've been having the same problem for quite a long time. Maybe usb stick is dying?
My rig so stable now that I haven't bothered testing with a new stick though
So i don't think it's drive related (although it's whining about drive validation stuff in the beginning of the boot process).
It would really help a lot of there was comprehensive logging that could be enabled (with decent rolling sizes). Thereis plenty of space even on the 4Gb image for the sticks.
But logging requires code lines that write the log messages, and it's mostly messages from the logging software that is needed.
most mining sw seems to only spit out to stdout, what we watch with screen, but having rolling 24 hours of that (or 10M) would be extremely valuable when you approach a rig that hangs at startup (two issues why did it reboot, and why is the boot process stopped) .
The disturbing thing is when you have something that you see as stable for a couple of weeks, and then it suddenly fails.
I hope the ancient HP KVM over IP (8port Eo1013) i'm getting isn't too old to be run from a Pi with teamviewer.
Edit: Adding the lines on the screen (there could e more lines above this). A simple ctrl-alt-delete made the rig reboot and stratup normally.
