Looks like the problem that I had. You need to see this: http://cubian.org/2014/07/05/resolve-stability-issue-on-cb2/ Basically, after extracting the image, you need to replace /boot/script.bin with one that is provided above. This sets the cpu frequency to a more conservative value during the boot process.

Then, take a look at this: http://cubian.org/2013/09/18/fix-random-crash/

thanks very much kristjanvalur . that resolve my problem. after boot i run command "top" and see atd is in the top and use 45% of cpu ! what is it ? and when i use cpuburn-sunxi after 2 minute cubie poweroff !

Hi. This also happened to me, but only after I followed these steps:
apt-get update && apt-get install linux-image

(I actually had to select a kernel, and it was the 7i kernel)

Anyway. I tried again, installing the os to the flash card, then updating script.bin and it started up fine. I then did: cubian-update --verbose --update-board-cfg and apt-get update && apt-get upgrade

after rebooting, everything was fine. I don't know what was causing atd to take all the cpu, I think it had something to do with trying to upgrade the kernel.

thanks you uses cubieboard 2 ? can u put your script.bin ?

[tofan8]

can you test your cpu stability with cpuburn-sunxi ?

[kristjanvalur]

I just used this one: https://github.com/mmplayer/cubian-updates/blob/a20-3.4.79_2/boot/script.bin?raw=true I don't have this board anymore, so I cannot do the cpuburn-sunxi.

thanks kristjanvalur . Well my boot problem solved but cubie is not stable in 1000mhz feq . and "atd" run in start and most cpu usage !

ok i run this command : sudo service atd stop sudo find /var/spool/cron.d -type f -delete sudo service atd start and atd sleep :D
