[beagleboard] Beaglebone Black Rebooting Several Times Every Day

Got my first BBB last week, installed latest Debian. USB Hot Plug was completely hosed in Kernel 3.8 so I upgraded to 3.16 (latest non-rc version). Currently running CUPS print services (including Airprint) and weewx. It appears that the BBB is rebooting three or four times between 10pm and 1am

I am booting straight from eMMC that I flashed, no uSD and no serial interface. I have disabled cups and weewx from starting and removed the external USB HUB and changed the power supply to another 5v 2a. I can tell it has rebooted by looking at syslog for ntpdate 'step time server' events. My

I have downgraded the kernel from 3.16.0-bone2 to 3.15.10-bone8 and so far no reboots in the last 3 hours. If I get a full 24 hr cycle without reboots, I'll blame it on 3.16.0 and try to re-attach ext USB HUB, weather data logger, printer, and enable cups and weewx and see how far I get this ti

Instead of rebooting 10 to 12 times it only rebooted 3 times in syslog, at 6:24pm and 11:06pm and 12:03am. Still random reboots though with nothing in USB and sitting idle. Not so sure it's a kernel issue at this point, could be hardware related but willing to try another kernel to see what happ

Hi Robert, I reflashed the original distro and it ran for about a half hour and rebooted so I have determined it is a hardware issue, (probably a grounding problem according to the vendor so perhaps there is a QC issue at element14) so I have returned the element14 BBB to the vendor for a refund

Robert, I think part of the reason ntp and dhcpclient aren't getting network connections at boot is because they are set at S03 in init and wicd is set at S06 and is last to get going. It appears that eth0 is not coming up until wicd loads? Also, the install-me.sh failed at the end with final
