Well,

we are all trying to help...

But the first thing outside of your checks, before any real changes should be to protect the kernel and update/upgrade.

Run the following commands after the first time you boot.

sudo apt-mark hold raspberrypi-kernel-headers raspberrypi-kernel
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade -y 
sudo reboot

at the # prompt run "asl-menu" to setup your node.

As I stated some time ago when I had similar issues, they stopped when I used that proc.

Will it work for you ???

First, apologies for what ended up coming out as a rant that 'got' to a few people. Not my intention... I tried to be casual/conversational and that doesn't work in-type.   As a result I did get a different perspective on the history of AllStar developments... :O


*** Steve:  thanks for the specific log locations... I'll fetch and send them soonest.  

If there are common known errors and clues to "yup, bad card..." or "check x.conf and y.conf for consistency of z parameter" - I'm more than willing to start documenting log tidbits, clues, etc. for the 'KB' effort.  (when I designed software I did ask the developers to spit out details once in awhile so we knew when function X crapped out... "wow, you know we can do that? CRAP!")

In a production support realm, when you see a trend of 10... 20 similar issues, you start looking to how-to, KB, or systematic remote fixes to relieve the support team of production issues.  As the back-end person pushing apps and updates the last thing *I* want is end-user calls/e-mails for the easy stuff... I have my own images, patches, packages and deployments to work on and annoy the user base on "Patch Tuesday"... the help desk knows better than to 'dox' me out to the users...  :O

*** Mike, you asked: "Could you state what the 'first few' commands are on 1st boot with your new image ? ...mike/kb8jnm"

What am I looking for?  The boot process of course dumps a ton of initialization info... 

What I type in?  I go for "sudo asl-menu"
