Raspberry Pi Server No Boot
Good morning,
Looking for some input. I just re-imaged my rPi with latest build of Server. However, it does not seem to boot up past a splash screen (just Repetier Logo seen over HDMI out). I see the device join the wired network (i.e. it seems to be given an IP address), but I cannot seem to connect to it in anyway (Putty, ping, etc). It does not respond to the connection via web browser either. Not even thru the IP. I have tried with and without a wired network connected, with and without HDI connected, with and without the wireless dongle connected, with original SD (16GB) and a new SD (64GB), repeated re-imaging on each card.
At one point I was able to connect to the IP address, but all I was able to get was a screen that said Repetier server was not running and it was going to retry. which it did every 20-30 seconds or so. For a long time it tried. It also had a suggestion to restart via command line, but it did not work ( that time I was able to Putty in, but that in no longer the case even after reimaging. )
For what it is worth, I had an image on this Pi prior that was working and feeding a delta printer just fine. That Printer has Repetier firmware, but is mostly retired. That image had issues with my Ender printers power cycling whenever connected to the Pi, so I tried the trick of a small piece of electrical tape over the +5v pin on the USB cable to the printer, but it did not work and I think made things worse. if the current issue is any indication.
It is an older Pi (Model 2B, maybe. I am not sure how to read the label on the Pi. It say Model B, v2). Any suggestions on changes to config files for my older Pi? Or is there a better build version of Server that is known to run with an older Pi better? I do not recal what the old install was.
Thanks to all who may have some insights.

Then I checked md5 sum:
MD5 (Repetier-Server-Image_1_0_3_v24.zip) = a77c1a3bc8dc33f9517be3f46bb7cf19
Please check your image if the md5 sum is correct to be sure the image is correct.
First start takes a bit longer since image will expand the filesystem so do not hurry or it may break if you unpower too early. But should not be more than a minute. It is quite fast. Try first without printers connected so you have no power problems or anything else disturbing on bootup. We all know how sensitive linux/pi is with voltage drops.
