I'm having the similar problem. Some weeks ago i was succesfull with first version of machinekit.Then I tried to get a chalkboard lcd to run. After some first success i corrupted somehow everything. So wen't back to restart from beginning, but I'm constantly stucked on the rcn-ee.net error. I'm not super in linux, but i did df/ls .. All seems fine. And doing ifconfig ibsee ip adress via dhcp.. I remember first time my problem was in missing bone-dtb parametrr. Is it possible that in last setup this has changed? Could not find that parameter in the file. P.S: I try by serial or usb connection. No way.. Have additional powersupply for usb and bbb. Any ideas?
