Received my new clusterboard and OS-Pines today and have a few issues.
Mounting screw holes too small. Since the board is MiniITX the mounting holes should be M3 (per the ATX spec), but they are much smaller. The mounting screws on common MiniITX cases won't fit without modifying the holes.
SO-Pines won't reboot. Already reported by @PeterKeuning. On software reboot the SO-Pine powers down but does not restart. At least most of the time...sometimes, randomly, it seems to work.
Power-on behavior is very inconsistent. With less than 7 sockets populated everything seems to work consistently. But with all 7 plugged in one or more modules does not start up. The yellow NIC activity light on the "inactive" node does not flash and the green LED is also dark. Also - when this happens - at least one of the other nodes has the green "heartbeet" LED on solid, though that module otherwise seems to be fine.
Clusterboard is powered from the on-board barrel jack using the "official" power brick. I've moved the SO-Pine's around on the board to see if one of them is responsible, but it doesn't seem to follow any one module. Software is Ayufun's xenial-minimal-sopine-bspkernel-0.7.19-118.
Also, any leads on a good working minimal Linux with mainline (or at least 4.4.x) kernel would be appreciated. Looking for one that can be installed without having to hack the kernel modules to get network working (no need for video).
