just assembled my kit from adafruit. Everything worked great at first, got the info widget running, tweaked the settings, no problems.
and then --
I uploaded the alarm clock binary from ladyada.net, it worked perfectly, and still does, however, the bootloader no longer successfully gets an address from DHCP.
just to clarify - the alarm clock widget runs perfect, dhcp works, I can access the control panel, connects to the time server and everything,but the boot loader fails to get an address and I can no longer upload widgets or access the admin.
help?

Re: new user - bootloader issues.
Now that is very strange. I'm not really sure what sort of bizarre state would cause this behavior.
Have you tried a reset? Here are the instructions:
Have you tried a reset? Here are the instructions:
Hold down the button while booting. Keep holding it down until the system reboots. You will hear a lot of warning chirps, but make sure you hold down the button until it reboots! After it reboots let go. Your ybox2 has been reset. This will erase every setting except for the MAC address, UUID, and LED configuration.

Re: new user - bootloader issues.
I just finished my ybox2 and had the exact same behavior. Other widgets worked fine. When I loaded the alarmclock (and set the time) I could no longer get the bootloader. I'll try the reset and see if that helps.
